Deadly Boat Trip Guide: How To Play the Game

Objective

Let’s first understand the objective of the game: navigate a boat across a monster-filled sea to save your mother, ultimately confronting the sea monster Sheldon. Completing this goal unlocks the “Mommy” achievement.

Players start in a lobby, with up to four players per session. Once you join the game, you begin on an island and can purchase items like fuel and weapons to prepare for the journey ahead.

As you progress, you’ll come across mini-islands along the way. You can defeat monsters infesting these islands using weapons like a slingshot. Make sure to keep an eye on your fuel levels — you’ll need to restock it periodically to continue your journey. Follow on-screen arrows pointing to key islands with loot and resources.

As mentioned before, the main goal of the game is to find your mother. At the top-center of the screen, you’ll see a meter labeled “Distance to Mother” — this indicates how far you are from reaching her.

How To Beat Sheldon the Monster

As you get closer to your mother and the “Distance to Mother” bar nears completion, you’ll encounter the game’s final boss — Sheldon, a giant sea monster. You’ll need to dodge his deadly energy beams and defeat him using the weapons you’ve collected throughout your journey. Electric power is recommended, as it deals significant damage.

Controls

Here are the controls in the game:

  • WASD: Steer and move the boat.
  • Mouse: Aim and shoot the slingshot.
  • E: Interact with objects (e.g., pick up loot, access shop).
  • UI Buttons: Use the in-game interface to place traps or turrets.
