Malai Island - the adventure in seven islands

The hero from Pirate Ship named Kevin must now pilot his own sailing vessel around the ocean surrounding seven islands. His goal is to find the greatest treasure. He must collect the keys which open the dock gates to each of the islands by invading several pirate ships and defeating the captain on board in combat. Once Kevin has collect a key from a pirate ship, he must then sail around the islands in search of the correct dock gate which the key corresponds to. Once there, the player embarks on an exploration of the island to find items, defeat a boss, and collect treasures before heading off in search of another island key.

[Player]

When Kevin piloting his ship around the ocean, you can navigate to any location within a square perimeter. If you attempt to sail too far outside that limit, your ship will begin to slow, and eventually come to a stop. The word "STOP" will appear on the screen to indicate that you may not travel any further in that direction.

Kevin will disembark from his ship when he encounters another ship at sea, or when he visits the dock gate of an island for which he has already collected the key. Once he is walking around, he can jump, and he is vulnerable to attack. Kevin has a collection of life points whose current total can be seen in the upper left hand corner of the screen. These points double as a score, and increase every time Kevin successfully attacks enemies with an object. Whenever one enemy is struck, Kevin gains 10 points. If a second enemy is struck by the same object, Kevin earns 20 points, and if a third enemy is struck, he gains 40, and so on. Fruit or POW icons will also increase Kevin's health. Kevin will die if his life points reach 0.
