The Journey of the HMS Theseus

The game we made for Ludum Dare 50 (the 20th year anniversary!) in the summer of 2022.

Oh no! You promised your darling betrothed that you’d come home in one piece. You are homeward bound (that’s good), but your ship – the HMS Theseus – keeps breaking down (that’s bad)!

Keep your ship in one piece long enough to make it ashore. Good luck, sailor!

Gameplay

Keep your ship homeward bound by directing your crew members to fix the various issues that come up. For instance, a hole may appear in the ship… or the sail may tear… or the mast may break!

Be careful of the rising water in the ship. If the ship sinks, you’ll all have to swim ashore! Send a crewman to the Pump-o-Matic water pump at the bow (the front) of the ship to help clear it up.
