Battle mighty sea monsters, hunt for treasure and sack cities in this epic pirate adventure!


You are on the run from the evil Lord Haddock, and it is only a matter of time before he catches you! Use the time to sail the seven seas, building up a powerful crew, arsenal and ship by exploring seas and ports, completing quests and finding treasure maps and chests.


Buccaneer! has 16 different areas to adventure in, 16 different enemies, and 4 different alternate endings, each with their own unique boss fight and quest path to unlock.


Will you slay the mighty Kraken, find the lost city of El Dorado, or drink from the mythical Fountain of Youth?


Developers notes:


Hi! I'm pepperpunk, the designer, artist, animator, and programmer for this game. This is my first major game which took several months to make and I hope you all have fun with it!


I will be active in the comments for a long while replying to you all, so if you have any questions, comments or would just like a subtle hint (in pirate speak) about how to complete some of the harder parts of the game, type them in below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!


I'd like to thank the Hardcore Nation forums for all their excellent playtesting that has made this game so well-balanced, and TurboNuke/LongAnimals for the sponsorship. Cheers!


Enjoy, ye landlubbers! P-)


P.S. A cookie for the first person to find "The Island" and post the adventure text in the comments. I'm afraid I can't offer an actual cookie, but I can draw one with your name on it and give it an eyepatch or something.


Edit: tgryphon won the prize, as promised, here is a picture of her with the cookie: http://imgur.com/3imrFGf


UPDATE: Newgrounds Medals for this game are now live! Can you get them all?

I've played through the game twice now and can't beat the fountain of youth monster or even get close. Can someone give a hint or something? I don't want the ending to spoiled, but at the same it gets awful frustrating. I am conflicted.

I did manage to beat Haddock easily. Rather than make a separate comment I edited this one. I tried again and failed at fountain of youth. 254 reputation and the moon beast still hates me. Got its attack real low and best ship. Have Davy Jones locket. I got every ending except fountain of youth. Honestly I give up, on fountain of youth, somebody give me a hint. Maybe I need negative reputation, I don't know.

Edit: I finally beat the moon beast and drank from the fountain of youth, its really easy when you know how so I won't spoil it for anyone. Just know it is possible don't give up. I didn't get the immortal medal right away but now I have.

Good game, didn't keep my save.

Slain the Kracken and found the secret island though!

Almost went for El Dorado, but the sound for combat died out, so I refreshed the page, and my save was gone.

Still playing this game even after all these years. A completely timeless classic that I'm sad there isn't a sequel to. Wherever you are now Pepperpunk, I hope you're doing good for yourself.

You should be able to sve the game and only have to redo the endings. Otherwise I liked it a lot.
If you are struggling I suggest you only buy ship upgrades first.

although the game is simple, it presents us with many options on how to follow the story. a great classic game, the only thing that bothers is the question of depending on luck to appear certain events, other than that it is perfect.
