Pirate's Code: Classic Puzzle

Crack the pirate’s code! A puzzle game inspired by Mastermind and Bulls & Cows.

Do you have the wits of a legendary captain? Welcome to Pirate’s Code, a strategic logic puzzle where your goal is to crack the secret combination and unlock the pirate’s treasure chest. Inspired by the classic puzzle gameplay, this adventure adds a salty twist with unique items, time-sensitive levels, and mysterious elixirs.

THE CHALLENGE
The pirate’s chest is sealed with a 4-symbol code. To claim the gold, you must deduce which four pirate objects belong in the code and in what exact order. You have 8 attempts to get it right. Are you ready to put your logic to the ultimate test?

HOW TO PLAY
After each guess, you’ll receive vital hints to guide your next move:
✓ 👍 Thumbs Up (KEEP): You’ve found a correct symbol in the right position!
✓ ↔️ Thumbs to Side (MOVE): The symbol is part of the code, but it’s in the wrong spot.
✓ 👎 Thumbs Down (LOSE): This symbol doesn’t belong in the code at all—swap it out!

14 LEVELS OF PERIL & PROGRESSION
The journey won't be easy. You must navigate through 14 increasingly difficult levels:

✓ Levels 1-7: Master the basics without the pressure of time. Use a free Help Elixir that becomes available as you progress to reveal a hidden symbol.
✓ Level 8: Pure logic. No elixirs, no help—just you and the code.
✓ Levels 9-13: The race is on! Battle a shrinking clock (from 5 minutes down to just 1). An elixir only appears when you have 30 seconds left on the fuse!
✓ Level 14: The Final Stand. 60 seconds. No help. Only a true Pirate King can solve this.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Not ready for the full challenge? Enter Practice Mode to hone your deduction skills. This mode mirrors the first level but provides unlimited elixirs, allowing you to master the mechanics before risking your high score in the main game.

SCORING & HIGH SCORES
Maximize your treasure! You earn points for every correct position and bonus points for every attempt you didn't need to use. Save your Elixirs for a massive 100-point bonus at the end of a level. Your total score across all 14 levels is recorded. Can you beat the highest score?
