About Be a Pirate

Be a Pirate - a game about a small but brave pirate, whose goal is to collect all the coins and escape faster.
\ https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1453220 /extras/4.png \
At first glance, the goal is quite simple: to run from door to door, but not everything is so easy. On the way, you need to collect all the coins, sometimes they are hidden and you need to find them, solving riddles and completing tasks, while your time is limited, and at every step enemies are waiting for you - other ruthless pirates, guns, whales eating bombs, live cucumbers. Also, you can perform additional tasks, finishing off all the enemies on the map with your bombs to earn more stars per level.
A platformer type game made in pixel art with a side view.

What awaits you in this game:


< 25 different levels

< 6 unique enemies
< atmosphere of heavy pirate everyday life
< interesting logic tasks and riddles
< good background music

Be a Pirate is one of thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam. This one has a pirate theme, and you must traverse the single screen levels by collecting all the coins then heading for the exit before the time runs out. The quality of the game is deplorable, and looks to have been copied from a game template from a Unity asset store. The art assets seem to be unique, so maybe Amfich came up with those themselves, but that doesn't magically improve the quality. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC.

The graphics made me nostalgic for Windows 95 screensavers. The gameplay made me want to walk the plank.
