Batten the Hatches! is a cooperative game designed for 2 - 4 people. Players take on the role of ship crewmen attempting to navigate their damaged ship to safety from a coming storm. Players must work together to move the ship around various hazards and reach shore before the storm rolls in and washes them away. This game utilizes a timer and interacts with the players in real-time to bring a sense of impending danger but also friendly silliness.
This game was created as my senior capstone project at American University. It will be available for purchase in the near future at The Game Crafter.
