Retro 8-Bit Naval Survival · iOS
Command a cargo ship through the treacherous Strait of Hormuz. Navigate real coastlines, dodge obstacles, and defend against relentless kamikaze drone waves using EMP blasts — all in glorious retro pixel art.
// in game
// gameplay
Authentic coastlines of Iran, UAE, Oman, Qeshm Island, and more — hand-crafted in pixel art.
Choose your vessel — each with unique speed, armor, and risk/reward trade-offs. Tanker, cargo, or speedboat?
Collect EMP pickups scattered across the sea. Trigger a pulse to obliterate incoming drone waves.
Classic rudder & throttle controls, or Modern path-drawing mode — trace your route and let the ship follow.
Wind, ocean currents, and wave forces affect your ship. Cruise control physics with realistic steering inertia.
Kamikaze drones attack in escalating waves. A 10-second siren warning gives you just enough time to prepare.
ZX Spectrum color palette, procedurally generated sprites, and synthesized 8-bit sound effects — no external assets.
Draggable mini-map shows your position across the entire strait. Pinch-to-zoom camera for tactical awareness.
