What’s new
Version 3.4 · Updated August 8, 2026
Thank you to everyone who has left reviews and offered feedback. As a solo developer, reading your thoughts means a lot to me, and community suggestions directly inspired most of the features in this update. Here is what’s new on the high seas: • Dynamic Weather: Navigate through dense fog and torrential rain that actively obscures your cannon timer and impacts combat strategy. • Choose Your Captain: Take the helm as one of 7 distinct playable captains, unlockable as you build your legacy and progress through the game. • The Plunder Chest: A newly redesigned end-of-run screen – tracking your Time Elapsed, Perfect Shot Accuracy, and gameplay milestones to fuel your high-score chasing. • Global Stat Tracking: The Captain’s Log now permanently records your lifetime achievements, including Highest Infamy and Total Ships Sunk. • Historical Lore: Tap the new info cards on captain portraits to uncover the real-world history behind the legendary pirates you encounter. • Visual Damage System: Ships now show progressive battle damage, with small sparks erupting into devastating pixel-art fires. • Combat Rebalancing: Faster cannon timers and tougher conditions make it more challenging than ever to become a legend of Bitmap Bay!
