Demo Released: Down with the Ship

The demo for Down with the Ship is now available to play here:  https://ironanchorgames.itch.io/down-with-the-ship

What is Down with the Ship?

Down with the Ship is a strategic space auto-battler where you draft items from a shop, assemble your ship, and battle against others. It draws influence from games like Super Auto Pets, Backpack Battles, and FTL, but leans into more complex resource management and diverse item synergies.

What's in the Demo

• Three starting captains.

• 118 items across various item pools.

• Versus mode, where you battle against builds from other players.

• Ranked ladder and leaderboard.

Feedback

The purpose of this demo is to start building a community of players and gather feedback that will shape the direction of the game. Bugs should be minimal, but item balancing is still in progress. We’ll make improvements with your involvement.

If you have feedback, ideas, or just want to talk about builds, you can leave a comment on the Itch page or join the community on Discord.

Thanks for checking it out.
