How to Play Top Shootout: The Pirate Ship
The ship fills most of the screen in bright cartoon 3D, rolling on the sea while you watch its planking, shuttered windows and rope-strung masts for movement. Pirates pop into view — a skeleton crew at the gun ports, a buccaneer leaning out of an upper window, rowers in a small boat alongside the hull — and a click or tap sends a cannon shot at whatever you are pointing at.
Each successful hit throws a score value into the air, and those values feed the running total on the banner at the top of the screen. Next to it sits a multiplier readout that shows values such as x2 and x3, along with a heart icon and a pause button. After firing you need to reload: the game prompts you with a sign across the bottom of the screen, and the wooden rack there shows your cannonballs. Click to recharge, then line up the next target.
Tips
- Watch the reload prompt at the bottom of the screen — you can't score again until the cannon is recharged, so get the reload click in early.
- Targets appear at several points on the ship at once, including gun ports and upper windows, so keep your pointer moving across the hull rather than parking it in one spot.
- Some pirates arrive alongside the galleon in a rowing boat; they sit low and are easy to miss if you're only watching the deck.
- Score values float up from each hit, so glance at them to learn which targets are worth firing at first.
