Description
Sink My Bricks! is a first-person pirate game developed by Sleepy Amigos, an indie team of three. For most of its development Nikolai Egorov worked on the project alone, but now a whole team is building the game. It was previously shown in short videos under the working title Shiver My Bricks!
What sets the game apart is that the islands, the ships and even the sea are built from bricks, and all of it can be destroyed. You can play solo or in a crew of up to four. Together, players raid archipelagos, board enemy ships and patch holes in their own hull in the middle of a fight.
Your ship matters most, because as long as it stays afloat, it is the only place where fallen players respawn. That's why the whole crew has to look after it together.
Features
- Islands, ships and even the sea are built from bricks, and all of it can be destroyed.
- Play solo or in a crew of up to four: raid archipelagos, board enemy ships and patch holes in your own hull mid-fight.
- Modify the ships already in the game or build your own from scratch.
- Your ship is the only place where fallen players respawn, as long as it stays afloat.
- No health bar: hits knock off limbs, which can be put back on or replaced with a prosthetic or the paw of a defeated monster.
- About an hour per run: three procedurally generated archipelagos, each ending with a boss, and the Flying Dutchman in the finale.
- The weather gets worse over time, and the toughest enemies come out at night.
- Between runs, unlock new weapons, ship modules, ship-building parts and artifacts that change the rules of the game.

“For most of this year I worked on the project alone, but I can't say I was ever lonely. The whole time, I had the support of a wonderful community! Making a game like Sink My Bricks! is hard work, but first, it's no harder than coming up with a quote for a press release, and second, making a game together with our audience is a blast!”
