Once in the game, It can become quite confusing to adapt as Pixel Piracy has a very non-linear contorl scheme. To move around, you need to click slightly above ground. To control the camera, you use WASD or the arrow keys.

If you look to the left, you'll see a small boat. This is your starting vessel. The two green things you see on it are melons, AKA, rations that you will need to satisfy the "Hunger" bar you have at the bottom left.

I recommend buying the Ramen early on as It has a high gold-for-food ration along with fitting your starting budget of 50gp perfectly.

Doing this will net you pretty amounts of XP and more importantly, items. They intensively glow yellow when lying on the ground and you simply walk close to pick them up.

While you are here (and later in other villages) take careful note on what "TP"'s (Training Points) there are to be learned. These are books that can teach your characters many essential tasks such as how to cook food, parry melee blows in combat or how to navigate maps.
