Everything looks like it's made out of LEGO-styled bricks in the co-op pirate roguelite Sink My Bricks! A new announcement from developer Sleepy Amigos, it was originally teased as Shiver My Bricks!

The sea, the ships, the islands, the creatures, you - everything is built from bricks and anything can be destroyed. It really looks like a lot of fun! Playable solo or with a total of four people in online co-op this is sure to be a blast. Together, players raid archipelagos, board enemy ships and patch holes in their own hull in the middle of a fight. Players can modify the ships already in the game or build their own from scratch.

More about it:

Your ship matters most, because as long as it stays afloat, it is the only place where fallen players respawn. That’s why the whole crew has to look after it together. There is no traditional health bar. A hit knocks off a hero’s limbs, which can be picked up and put back on, and a lost arm can be replaced with a prosthetic or the paw of a defeated monster.

A run takes about an hour. In that time the crew makes its way through three procedurally generated archipelagos, each ending with a boss, and faces the Flying Dutchman in the finale. Over time the weather gets worse, and the toughest enemies come out at night. Between runs, players unlock new weapons, ship modules, ship-building parts and artifacts that change the rules of the game.

From the press release seen by GamingOnLinux: “For most of this year I worked on the project alone, but I can’t say I was ever lonely. The whole time, I had the support of a wonderful community! Making a game like Sink My Bricks! is hard work, but first, it’s no harder than coming up with a quote for a press release, and second, making a game together with our audience is a blast!” says Nikolai Egorov, developer of Sink My Bricks!
