Take command of Depth Charge, an elite squad of submarine hunters. Use a variety of tools to discover the location of the hidden submarines and destroy them. HOW TO PLAY • This is a game of logic, arithmetic, estimation and triangulation. • Drop buoys in the ocean water • The buoys tell you how far they are from the submarine • Estimate how far that distance is from the buoy • Drag the measuring circle of each buoy to match the distance • The enemy submarine should be at the location where the measuring circles intersect • Fire a depth charge from your warship at that location • If you've estimated correctly the enemy attack submarine will sink • Find and eliminate all the submarines in the level CAMPAIGN The first level will familiarize you with the basics. After that there's an additional 39 levels for you to solve. Only the smartest will be able to get a three star score on all the levels. CHALLENGE MODE Play for a highscore on the Game Center Leaderboards. Should only be attempted by experienced players, that's why this mode only unlocks after completing level 15 of the campaign. Tools available to find and destroy submarines: • SONAR BUOY The standard tool for detecting submarines • RANGE BUOY Automatically places the measuring circle at the exact position No need to drag it manually • CAMERA BUOY Equipped with the U96 underwater camera. If the submarine is in viewing range it will show exactly where it is. • DEPTH CHARGE The standard submarine eliminating tool • TRIPLE CHARGE Three charges dropped in a triangular shape for maximum coverage, carpet bombing. • HOMING CHARGE When in range, always a direct hit!
