Sub Hunt
Depth charges and sonar pings
Sonar pings, depth charges and a lot of patience.
Read the sonar, drop the charge and lead the target — a slow, tense duel under the waves.
About Sub Hunt
Sub Hunt is deliberately slow. You read the sonar, lead the target and drop, then wait to find out whether you guessed the depth right. Rushing simply wastes charges.
How to play Sub Hunt
Hunt the submarines crossing below your ship with well-timed depth charges.
Controls
- · Hold ◀ / ▶ to steer the ship along the surface.
- · Press DROP to release a charge — it sinks at a fixed rate.
Rules & scoring
- · Deeper subs are worth more.
- · Charges are limited in the water at once, so make each one count.
Tips
- · Lead the target: drop where the sub will be, not where it is.
Retro inspiration
Naval warfare was one of the earliest pocket-game themes, usually built around a hidden target and a guessing grid.
