Pirates of the Drowned Hypertorus

A curious, pirate-themed Roguelike where you try to bump into people better than they bump into you.

Console Controls

Gameplay

This game is mostly about gaining an advantageous position on your opponents. If you and your opponent bump while you are facing each other, you trade blows and you both lose health. If you bump your opponent from the back, however, you deal bonus damage and lose no health, so try to strike from behind.

When you jump, you're defenseless, so try not to bump into anybody while jumping.

Get a treasure chest to end the round and go to the store. The goal of the game is to buy the 3 treasure maps by the end of round 10 and defeat the final boss.
