Tide & Powder is a single-player 3D pirate sailing roguelike. Command a small warship, navigate changing winds and coastal waters, and build a stronger vessel through naval combat, salvage and harbour visits.

NAVAL COMBAT
Turn to bring your port and starboard broadsides into position, use bow and stern guns, and time each volley around its reload. Wind, sail settings, firing arcs and islands shape your approach. Cannon fire, distinct hull and water impacts, short destruction effects and a sailing soundtrack accompany your battles.

EXPLORE AND UPGRADE
Sail past tropical islands, rugged coastlines and harbour settlements. Approach defeated ships to recover gold and choose upgrades for weapons, crew, rigging and hull. Spend gold at harbours to repair damage or purchase stronger ships. Enemies grow more dangerous as your hull and upgrades improve.

COMPLETE THE OPERATION
Follow operation objectives and prepare for an assault on a fortified pirate island. Destroy its defensive batteries and central powder magazine to complete the operation, then begin another voyage.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Keyboard, mouse and on-screen touch controls support desktop and mobile play in portrait or landscape. Voyage progress saves automatically. Pause and sound controls are available in the menu.

Optional rewarded videos offer a second distinct upgrade from an earned selection or additional harbour gold. Each offer displays its reward before viewing. Standard combat, salvage and upgrade choices remain available without choosing these offers.
