[h2]What's in it?[/h2]

We also updated the demo with several fixes made to the main game! But be quick to try it out as the demo is going away once the game releases!

Hey all!

First of all, as you can see in most of our screenshots and gif in the description of our game, we relevead one more of the games to be included in the release.

High Seas Survivor is a fast paced brawler game with a mix of tower defense elements. You play as a pirate protecting you hard earned treasure against several cursed beings coming out of the sea. In order to protect youself and all your chests you will have the chance to get all sorts of aid when you finish a round of enemies, so that's another layer of strategy on top of everything else!
