Exciting news for Ship of Fools fans! Fika Productions and Team17 Digital have announced the Alphy’s Project Update, coming for free to all owners on April 24th. Despite their April Fool’s prank, there is indeed an update featuring four brand new fools, new options for your runs, and quality of life improvements. You’ve been bamboozled, but in the best way possible!
Alphy’s Project
Meet Pelly and Alphy, the ultimate partners in crime and construction! These two have arrived in the Archipelago with a mission to restore every broken structure to its former glory. Gather materials on your journey and bring them back to The Great Lighthouse Island so Alphy can unlock powerful new items. Meanwhile, Pelly will be laying eggs with space-time-altering properties, adding an extra layer of foolishness to your adventure.
Pew Pew Mode
Pelly’s first-ever egg, the Pew Pew Egg, replaces every sound effect in the game with mouth-crafted masterpieces. Over 400+ sound effects and 32 complete songs have been remade a cappella by the Ship of Fools dev team. What started as an April Fool’s joke in 2023 has now become a fully realized feature, thanks to the incredible talent of composer Philippe Grant and the team.
Golden Bay Duo
On the same day, two new Fools packs are getting released as DLC! The Golden Bay Duo introduces Commodore Goldie and Hanah, who bring a new gameplay mechanic allowing them to spend Sand Dollars to overcharge their reflect action, unleashing game-changing abilities.
Thunder Tide Duo
Prepare to unleash shocking new strategies with the Thunder Tide Duo! This electrifying pack introduces two eccentric characters—mad scientists who harness the power of static electricity to zap their foes. They utilize a new gameplay mechanic that lets them roll to generate static charges, building up and releasing powerful electric effects.
Completely Foolish Edition
Alongside these new changes, a new bundle is being introduced that contains the base game, soundtrack, and the four packs of fools for a total of 18 playable characters!
Key Features
- Bombastic Combat: Frantic ship-based combat against colossal leviathans and horrifying creatures from the deep waters of the Archipelago.
- Frantic Co-op Experience: Designed for co-op play, manage ship repairs, reload and maneuver cannons, and use paddles to strike enemies as they board the Stormstrider.
- Endless Replayability: Upgrade your crew and unlock items and additional fools to take on the ever-changing seas, with multiple runs needed to avert the Aquapocalypse.
