About GUNBOAT-8
GUNBOAT-8 is a bullet-heaven roguelike at sea. Your ship fires on its own, so all you do is steer: dodge the enemy fleets, pick up loot and survive each wave.
Between waves you spend your scrap in the shop on new weapons, modifiers and runes, and you can merge two of the same weapon into a stronger one. Bosses you beat can join your fleet, from Blackbeard to an aircraft carrier. The seas are based on real places, and you pick the next one from a globe.
Orange Acorn Games is making it for Windows, for one to four players in online co-op. There's a free demo on Steam. Its developer posted on r/IndieDev that one player spent 67 hours in it, because the demo had grown into almost the whole game.
