HandyGamesTM, one of the leading independent developers of mobile games, will enter the mobile devices with the next blockbuster on September 23rd. In Pirates Ahoy, all buccaneers and those who want to become one will be immersed in action-loaded naval battles in the Caribbean Sea.

The player has to choose between four characters, e. g. the cruel Captain Wood or the pretty Bonny LaGrace, and on his quest for gold, rum and glory he has to be aware of unpredictable winds, dangerous swirls or hidden bombs. Other pirates will be sunk with mighty cannons or by ramming them till there is nothing left but hull planks.

Maps incl. various extras are generated randomly. Thanks to a hothand / multiplayer mode up to four players can fight fierce battles against each other on one single device which multiplies the fun factor.
