Ship Snatch
Build a hex archipelago and defend your Captain's Keep from enemy ships and sea monsters.
About Ship Snatch
In Ship Snatch you grow an archipelago one hex at a time and hold your Captain's Keep against waves of enemy ships and sea monsters. The game is a top-down tower defense and base builder at sea: expand the map, place defenses, and upgrade them as the waves come.
You can defend alone or in co-op with up to 32 players. The AI tools were Cursor and the Gemini app, with Three.js handling the rendering.
Growing the map and choosing where to fortify are part of the strategy, rather than just placing towers along a fixed path. The pirate theme comes in a claymation look, meant to be cute enough for kids while still giving adults something to think about.
