Video: Pixel Piracy live stream

See the 2D sandbox indie in action from 5pm BST.

2D, side-scrolling sandbox games aren't particularly uncommmon these days - hello Starbound, and hello Terraria! - but how many of them can boast pirates? Pixel Piracy, an indie coming from Finland, can boast pirates, poop decks and, most likely, parrots, so if the high seas are your thing you might want to take a look at Ian Higton's live stream of the game. It's all kicking off at 5pm BST today.
