FEATURES

🗺️

Real Strait of Hormuz

Authentic coastlines of Iran, UAE, Oman, Qeshm Island, and more — hand-crafted in pixel art.

🚢

3 Ship Classes

Choose your vessel — each with unique speed, armor, and risk/reward trade-offs. Tanker, cargo, or speedboat?

EMP Defense System

Collect EMP pickups scattered across the sea. Trigger a pulse to obliterate incoming drone waves.

🎮

Two Steering Modes

Classic rudder & throttle controls, or Modern path-drawing mode — trace your route and let the ship follow.

🌊

Dynamic Environment

Wind, ocean currents, and wave forces affect your ship. Cruise control physics with realistic steering inertia.

👾

Wave-Based Enemies

Kamikaze drones attack in escalating waves. A 10-second siren warning gives you just enough time to prepare.

🎨

Retro Pixel Art

ZX Spectrum color palette, procedurally generated sprites, and synthesized 8-bit sound effects — no external assets.

📡

Mini-Map & HUD

Draggable mini-map shows your position across the entire strait. Pinch-to-zoom camera for tactical awareness.
