Sword Step

Captain Clown Nose is racing across islands and pirate ships to reach the treasure chest at the end of every level, and his sword is the only ladder he has.

• Throw it into a wall, a mast or a crate and it sticks there as a step you can stand on and jump from.
• Call it back and it flies home, cutting every crab, shark and starfish on its way.
• Cut or stomp enemies one after another without touching the ground for a combo: every link pays extra coins.
• Stone walls do not take it: the blade bounces off and drops.
• One sword, one throw at a time, so every step is a choice.

20 hand-made levels, each one teaching something new: cannons, spitting shells, spike totems, falling planks, moving ships and two storm chases where the wave is right behind you.

Every level has three stars: reach the chest, take all three diamonds, and beat the par time. Stars you earn are kept, so you can go for the diamonds and the time on separate runs. Death sends you straight back to the last flag in a blink. Stuck? After a few tries the Parrot offers to show you the way.

Come back every day for the Daily Voyage, a fresh level with a best time to beat, a gift ladder, a streak and three daily missions. Spend your coins in the Wardrobe on new captain colours and sword trails. Hunt the Golden Skulls hidden in some levels.
