The game comes with a short story detailing how young Simon found his gold and diamond treasure at the beach. Unfortunately for Simon his newfound fame has brought some unwanted attention…
Note: The storyline only takes a few moments to play out but you can skip it if desired.

Once you click with the mouse the screen will shift to Simon’s side of the “battlefield”. The game provides a quick visual tutorial (no interaction required) on how to aim and shoot. Use your mouse to adjust the angle of your cannon (up and down), the power level of the shot (right and left movement), and left click when ready to fire.

When the tutorial is finished you will see your ammo types/count in the upper left corner and be able to monitor the health levels/number of people left on each side of the battle at the bottom.
Note: Part of the fun with this game is watching what Simon does at times during the battles!

The game is turn-based, so once you have fired your shot the pirates will take their turn to fire at you.
