About Pirate Kid
Get ready for a incredible sea adventure! Grab your pirate hat and run through the dangerous sea shore. Collect diamonds and avoid evil crabs, birds and spiky shells. Tap anywhere on the screen to jump - and tap again while in the air to do a double jump. How many diamonds would you be able to collect?
How to play Pirate Kid
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.

Why it is worth playing
What makes Pirate Kid stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
