ABOUT THE GAME
The river is narrow, your boat is tiny, and every pirate on the water wants it gone. Slip between lanes to dodge rocks and kraken tentacles, and keep an eye on the enemy ships: some shoot, some cut across your path. Fire back when you can. Sunk pirates drop coins and pieces of an old map, and coins buy you a faster, meaner ship.

STRATEGY & TIPS FOR PIRATE DODGE
Keep your eyes on where you're going, not on your own character — peripheral awareness of hazards matters more than watching yourself.
Accept that an early death is often the cheapest way to learn a section — treat the first few tries as scouting, not scoring.
Survive first, score second — most arcade games hand out points for staying alive, so protect your run before chasing risky combos.
Learn the pattern and timing of obstacles or enemies — arcade games are often built on repeating cycles once you notice them.
