Flinthook

Flinthook casts the player as space captain Flinthook, a pirate seeking treasure and fame aboard randomly assembled spaceships. The central pursuit is to hunt rival pirates and collect relics while fighting through these ships, in an action-platformer with roguelike elements.

The pirate lords of the Cluster Clan are targets to track down. A compass creature can pinpoint a boss’s location; after defeating the target, Flinthook can bring the bounty home.
