KEY FEATURES:

🌊 A VOYAGE OF STRATEGY & SURPRISE
No two journeys are the same. Plot your course across a varied Caribbean map, but be prepared for anything. Random events like duels with rivals, thieves in the night, encounters with naval patrols, and even rare, mysterious sightings of mermaids will challenge your wits and resolve. Will you risk a dangerous shortcut for a greater reward?

🏴‍☠️ FACE 40+ LEGENDARY PIRATES
Challenge the most notorious captains in history! From Blackbeard to Calico Jack and Anne Bonny, every one of the 40+ enemy pirates is historically researched. Face them in tactical duels, study their detailed biographies, and admire their unique, hand-drawn pixel-art portraits.

🎨 AUTHENTIC HANDMADE PIXEL ART
Created by a solo developer and career artist, every visual in Bitmap Bay is lovingly crafted. The retro aesthetic isn't just a style; it's a philosophy, creating a charming and immersive world that feels both nostalgic and new.

⚓ DEEP, ACCESSIBLE GAMEPLAY
Bitmap Bay is designed to be intuitive, but the strategic possibilities are vast.
