User Summary: HoD: On open seas is two vaguely-related games packaged together. In the words of the developers, "After a year we stand as strong as ever and we have decided to give out two games as one, why? Because we believe that this is a better way of doing things.". HoD, "Hands On Deck", is an arcadey pirate ship sailing shmup, the goal of which appears to be blowing up as many enemy pirates as you can while collecting money and powerups. On open seas is an ARPG.
