RENTON, WASHINGTON USA (June 22, 2006) - Casual game
developer Primate Games announced today a new version of
"Avast!", the turn based piracy game that is the flagship for
the indie company.
"Avast!" is a small and robust casual game designed around a
boardgame-like play style with simple strategic elements very
similar to chess or checkers. As Captain Suzette, a
struggling Inn keeper, out to earn her fortune and save her
beloved home, players must position their fleet against
brigands and scallywags of all types as they sail the
treacherous oceans. Harvest items, race to goals, collect
treasure and scuttle opponents' ships in one of the four
gameplay scenarios.
Full of rich art and inspiring music, the story mode alone
offers 40+ hours of turn based pirate fun for all ages.
Version 1.0 of Avast! comes with:
50 unique levels.
4 different game scenarios.
Multiplayer "Skirmish" mode for turn swapping
play.
All original musical score by composer C. Stephen
Murray.
11 separate opponents to defeat.

20+ "Power Up" items to enhance gameplay.
Hilarious characters and story.
