Ron Gilbert Details His Match Three Pirate Puzzle Game
When Ron Gilbert left Double Fine recently, he also announced his upcoming mobile game, Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover the Ultimate Sea Shanty: A Musical Match-3 Pirate RPG. Yesterday, he revealed a few more details about the game.
It's a match-3 RPG, in case the title didn't make that clear, but it plays around with the way pieces drop. The direction you swipe your pieces dictates where new pieces come from, so you can have new pieces falling from up top, coming in from the left and right sides, and coming in from below.
The game is coming to iOS devices in the coming months, and Gilbert says he's pretty sure it won't be a problem to port it to Android shortly after.
You can check out Ron Gilbert's Grumpy Gamer blog for more details on the game.
