About You Must Build A Boat
You Must Build A Boat is a game about building a boat, starting with a boat already in your possession. You spring out of bed, recruit a crew and set out on a journey through dangerous places, taking on quests and working toward your goals.
Match tiles and fight
You slide rows or columns of tiles on a 6x8 grid and match at least three. At the same time, your character runs to the right, so you must focus on two areas of the screen at once. Match keys to open chests and swords to attack, disarm traps, venture through hell and make an offering at the chapel. You can consume fish and tomatoes for time, and trade junk for gold with the voidorb.
Build your crew
Bargain with the lizardman and heed your undead navigators. Rally the Fantasy Union and the Undead Buddies to your cause, and trust a blue bean man to make dangerous investments with your money. You can take on multiple quests at once to raise the difficulty, upgrade your magic staff, and collect your thoughts to trade them for dragons.
Keep the journey going
You must not dally or be too hasty: make steady progress, try again and remain optimistic. Random chain combos can help, and you can weigh anchor before hopping in sync with your crew. The game has a retro aesthetic, and its journey includes minding the asp, praying for salt and feigning interest in the gardener’s work.
