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
Depth charges and sonar pings — destroy every target before your lives run out.
Controls
- · Drag left and right to aim your shooter.
- · Tap the screen to fire.
Rules & scoring
- · Each target destroyed scores points; clearing a wave moves you to a faster one.
- · You have three lives — being hit or letting the enemy through costs one.
Tips
- · Lead moving targets slightly.
- · Clear the edges first so the wave has nowhere to hide.
Retro inspiration
Naval warfare was one of the earliest pocket-game themes, usually built around a hidden target and a guessing grid.
