🎯 Game Objective
Progress by acquiring coins to upgrade your ship, improve your weapons and dominate the leaderboard!
Each coin also grants you one score point. Score points are cumulative and do not decrease if you spend the coins. As your score grows, your ship's health and total size will grow too. There's no set limit.
⚠️ Important
Death resets all progress - stay vigilant and upgrade wisely!

💰 Making Money
Exploring: Find coins scattered throughout the ocean. Different sizes = different values
Shipments: Random job offers when docking at islands
Combat: Other ships will drop a certain amount of coins
Conquer: Claim island and earn docking taxes
📦 Shipments and icons
Don't rely exclusively on catching coins. Explore the islands, dock and look for jobs. Shipping jobs can be a great way to make money fast. Beware though: other ships can see you're transporting goods. If you sink, shipments can be stolen.
The shipment icon above players. Note that it won't be visible during foggy nights.
🏝️ Islands
Dock by entering the blue circle and heading to the coast. Islands offer:
• Shops with useful items
• Random job proposals
• Semi-safe harbor (no collisions while in the blue zone)
Island Claims: Fleets can claim islands for exclusive benefits:
• 1 coin per player that docks
• 3 coins per commercial ship shipment
• 10 coins per player delivering shipments
Reward is granted to each fleet member
🌙 The Night
In the perilous waters of Caravels.online, the nights are dangerous. Indeed, ethereal ghost ships may emerge from the ocean and besiege islands. Other times, you'll face the fog. When this happens, it won't be possible to see other players' name tags, health bars or shipment icons. If you're in a fleet, you'll still be able to see your fleet members on the minimap though. Will you team up against the menace or get advantage of the chaos?
👥 Fleets
Form fleets of up to 4 players for strategic advantages:
• Fleet leaders can accept/refuse join requests
• Fleet members will see each other's position on minimap
• All members can claim islands (while docked) and build on them
• Protect claimed islands and keep them safe
• Players docking and shipping to the island generate income
• Work together to control trade routes
⚔️ Bounty System
In the lawless seas of Caravels.online, every kill has consequences. When you sink an enemy player's ship, you earn 1 kill score and become wanted. The more kills you rack up, the higher you climb on the Most Wanted leaderboard.
🎯 How It Works
• Each player kill grants you 1 kill score
• Killing a player adds you to the wanted list
• The Most Wanted leaderboard ranks by total kills
• Clean players (0 kills) stay clean when killing wanted players
• Become a feared pirate or hunt down the notorious
