Overview
Description

In Galleon, players step into the boots of Rhama Sabrier, a daring sailor on a quest to stop the nefarious Jabez from unleashing chaos across the seven seas. The game blends platforming challenges with swash‑swash action and a touch of romance, delivering a unique adventure experience. Set against a richly detailed nautical world, Galleon offers tight controls, varied ship combat, and a narrative that balances high‑stakes heroics with personal relationships, making each voyage feel both epic and intimate.

Pixel Piracy is a side‑scrolling 2D real‑time strategy sandbox where you become a pirate captain. Recruit crew, outfit your vessel, and set sail across a dangerous open world. Use aggression, deception, or trade to build infamy, but beware—death is permanent and the seas are unforgiving.
