    Experience the thrill of piracy without the violence, seasickness, or visits from the FBI.

    There's a distinct satisfaction to killing and pillaging innocent people, and then spending the ill-gotten money on your own selfish endeavors.

    Plunderland is energetic pirating at your fingertips, a high seas adventure with charm and originality.

    With iPhone games, it's the absolute minimum requirement to get the controls right, but in that regard Plunderland fails. And considering that it seems to get everything else right, that's a big shame.
