3	''Pixel Piracy'' is an unique open-world ship building/Real time strategy/Retro 2D sidescrolling IndieGame released by Quadro Delta and also aided by Re-Logic of ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' fame. Meaning the games have ShoutOut[=s=] between eachother.

5	In ''Pixel Piracy'', you take the role of the would-be captain of a feared pirate ship, on the journey to plunder and riches. Unfortunately, due to the RogueLike genre's staple of EverythingTryingToKillYou, everything from tribals to vicious animals to starvation to other pirates to your '''own crew''' can hinder your success or outright destroy you.

9
10	* ArchetypalCharacter: Each pirate you hire has their own individual backstory, with blurbs stating their personality and physique, allowing for combinations such as MightyGlacier, DumbMuscle, and LoveableRogue characters.
11	* ArtisticLicensePhysics: With some careful tinkering in the ship editor menu, [[IfItSwimsItFlies you can make your ship hover above the water]].
12	* BoardingParty: The main and most convenient method of defeating an enemy ship, your crew firing grappling hooks and shimmying over the water to fight on the enemy ship. However, this is much more risky than other methods, and early on poses a very big threat for your fledgeling, invaluable crew.
13	* CharacterCustomization: To add to the menagerie of genres this game already exhibits, each pirate you hire has his own set of skills and stats that upgrade over time.
14	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: If you fail to keep your crew's morale up, they will eventually revolt against and kill you.
15	* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: In-Universe example. People who used to be a pirate [[{{Pun}} downloaded so much software]] that they got teleported into a [[{{Irony}} game about literal piracy]].
16	* DigitalPiracyIsOkay: Quadro Delta initially released the full game as a torrent and incited people to download it.
17	* IfItSwimsItFlies: Some careful tinkering lets you build your very own floating ghost ship.
18	* {{Pirate}}: Naturally. Interestingly, they come in 3 varieties - The [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder mostly]] allied crew of your ship, the neutral hireable ones in taverns, and the hostile ones encountered randomly on the sea.
19	* SwordAndGun: Each crew member can have a variety of ranged and melee weapons at once, ranging from daggers and rocks to cutlasses and pistols.
20	* TalkLikeAPirate & StockPhrases: Most every time you click or order the crew, they break out into ye olde pirate speake, "YO-HO-HO"s and "ARRRR"s abound.
21	* WalkThePlank: One of the StockPhrases muttered whilst commanding the crew.
