About
Navigate the Strait of Hormuz — the world's most critical maritime chokepoint — in this one-thumb naval survival roguelike. Pilot your vessel north through the narrow corridor, surviving escalating asymmetric threats: drifting sea mines, high-speed patrol boats, and drone swarms. Your radar is your eyes — watch the sweep line reveal what's lurking in the fog before it reaches you. TAP anywhere to fire a Tomahawk missile at the nearest threat. HOLD for a heavy salvo that targets up to three enemies at once. STEER by dragging your thumb — your vessel eases toward your hand using a virtual-analog offset, not a teleport. Intercept parachuted supply airdrops to repair your hull (+HULL) or refill your firepower (+AMMO). FEATURES • Radar/sonar aesthetic with authentic sweep-and-reveal mechanics — threats are fogged until the sweep line crosses them, then ghost-revealed as green silhouettes so you can read their heading before committing a shot. • Escalating difficulty across 4 timed legs (≈90 seconds each). Each checkpoint clears the board, gives you a breath, then raises the spawn rate and threat mix. • Three unlockable hulls with distinct playstyles: – TANKER: Slow, tough, and steady. The free starter hull. – PATROL BOAT: Fast, fragile, and extremely nimble. Unlock with 600 salvage. – ESCORT FRIGATE: Balanced warship with the largest missile magazine. 1,500 salvage. • Meta-progression: every run banks salvage currency (distance + threats destroyed + legs cleared). Spend it between runs to unlock new vessels in the fleet screen. • Full audio-visual juice: camera screen shake on explosions and hits, particle foam wake trailing behind your hull, explosion ember bursts, synthesized sound (radar ping, launch chirp, detonation boom — no audio file downloads), and Taptic Engine haptics wired to every meaningful event. • Permadeath, 3–7 minute runs — designed for one hand, one thumb, in portrait. HOW TO PLAY Steer: hold and drag anywhere in the lower screen. The vessel follows your thumb offset — you control direction, not exact position. Fire: tap anywhere to launch one Tomahawk at the nearest threat (costs 1 charge). Hold for 0.7 seconds to fire a heavy salvo of up to 3 missiles (costs 2 charges). Charges regenerate automatically over time and can be refilled instantly by grabbing an amber (+AMMO) airdrop. Radar: watch the green sweep line descend each pass. Amber blips mark incoming threats. Ghost silhouettes appear as the line crosses each threat. Full reveal happens when a threat enters close range (~160 pt radius). Survive all 4 legs to complete the strait. Your score (distance + kills) and salvage are banked to your career stats at game-over regardless of how far you make it.
