About Sea of Slop
Sea of Slop is a pirate sailing game with a 3D sea, wind and waves. Steer a ship under sail, trim the sails, drop and raise the anchor, bail the hold and fight from the decks.
Your ship has an AI crew. Hold Q to open the orders wheel, or press Enter and type an order such as man the cannons, take the wheel, drop anchor or hot shot.
Fight with cannon broadsides, flintlocks, cutlasses and boarding axes. Other players’ crews can fight you on the same sea.
Buy a better ship and upgrades in the shipyard: press U at an outpost. Treasure maps are sketches of islands marked with Xs. Read one with L, find the island at the map table, sail there and dig with the shovel.

Play with friends on one shared sea
Everyone who opens Sea of Slop joins the same sea. There is one shared world, and it holds up to 64 players at a time. When it is full, the game asks you to try again in a minute.
Each player steers their own ship on that sea. No invite or room code is needed: share the page, and friends join the same sea.
