Your journey has brought you here, to a rocky atoll far beyond the charted world. Jagtooth cliffs loom above and weird waves whisper of what lurks below. Let us not linger. Harness wind to your sails and make haste to depart this cursed archipelago.

HOW TO SAIL
Wind blows in from the the bottom of your screen. You can see the direction of the wind flowing in white lines that pass over the ocean. Observe how your sails fill as you adjust them. Sails fill best when the wind hits them at a fully perpendicular angle, as though the gusts are slamming into a wall of canvas.
Regardless of the angle of the sails, the boat is always propelled forward due to the hull's shape. A perfect sail angle is not always achievable. Do your best to keep the wind blowing on the backside of the sails. You cannot sail directly into the wind but you can go at an angle and get pretty close with some practice.
Renegatta was produced in November 2025 for the GitHub GameOff jam. The theme was "Waves." The game may take a minute or more to load in the browser, do not worry if it seems to stall.

This game is awesome. Love the movement and gameplay. It's satisfying to drift. Great idea of turning the sails. I found that out when researching ships, but I had no clue how it works in practice. Also I love that we used the same pixabay free music. Great game.
The sailing from Valheim mixed with the drifting from NFS underground. Great fun but very difficult. Though maybe I’m just bad :’)
Yessss!!! Turns out you just need to not drown for long enough and your guys heal you up
Nice work! I knew you could do it, King 👑 I had to show that first image to all my friends 😂 Hilarious
I had an absolute blast with this! Very clever sailing mechanics with a great presentation. I'm happy with my B rank, haha. Nicely done!
