About

Blindwake

Read full description

Ten by ten. Seventeen cells of steel, hidden. Where do you fire first? Blindwake is the paper battleship game you played at school, rebuilt for a phone and sharpened until every shot costs something. Call a cell, read the answer, and build the map of a fleet you never see. Hit, and you fire again — up to three shots in a row. Then the sea starts arguing with you. Rock eats a shot. Shallows take only the small hulls. Fog answers a hit with nothing at all, and only radar sees through it. Currents drag the short hulls you have not hit yet, ice cracks under your first shell and answers only the second, and decoys call "hit" and never sink. SEVENTY STAGES, SEVEN SEAS • Shallow Bay, Rock Archipelago, the Fog Sea, the Maelstrom, the Frozen Sea, the Mirage Sea and the Last Strait — each sea adds a rule, and a boss waits at the end of it • The Last Strait widens the board to twelve by twelve: seven ships, among them a supply ship and a torpedo boat, against a machine with sonar of its own • Not every stage asks you to sink them all: sink the flagship, hold out until the turns run out, escort your transport across, or catch their convoy before it escapes • Three stars a stage: win, win inside the shot limit, lose no more than it allows. 210 in all SONAR, EARNED UNDER FIRE • Every ship you sink charges sonar, and so does every ship you lose — the side that is behind charges faster • Spend it on radar (how many ship cells in a 3Ɨ3, never where), a salvo of three in a line, or a 2Ɨ2 cluster • Four captains, bought with stars, each bending one rule: a wider radar, a fourth shot in a chain, a first hit reported as a miss, one untouched ship moved once THREE MACHINES TO BEAT • Easy fires blind. Normal hunts and finishes what it finds. Hard counts where a ship most likely is, and fires there • Quick battle whenever you like, on any board your stars have opened TWO PHONES, ONE WI-FI • Rooms find each other. No account, no server, no internet • Both fleets are sealed before the first shot and revealed at the end, so a moved ship is caught • Four rule sets: Classic, Sea Battle, a three-minute Blitz, and Simultaneous, where both sides fire at once DRAW YOUR OWN SEA • Paint rock, shallows and fog; the editor refuses a board a fleet cannot hide on • Share a map as a code or a QR, or send it with the invitation Free to play, offline, fourteen languages. Hide. Guess. Sink.

Build your base. Harvest the crystals. Command your army. PrimeWarfare is a classic real-time strategy game in the spirit of the great base builders, made for touch screens and played offline against AI commanders. DEPLOY AND BUILD Unpack your Base Crawler into an Assembly Yard, raise power plants, refineries, barracks and war factories, and protect it all with walls, gates, turrets and garrisoned buildings. Every structure is a detailed 3D model, from the cooling towers to the cranes of the naval yard. HARVEST AND EXPAND Harvesters gather crystals from the fields and haul them back to your refineries. Rich fields, contested expansions and a sharp economy decide who can afford the bigger army. THREE FACTIONS, ONE BATTLEFIELD Lead Granite Command, the Red Talon or the Meridian Compact, each with its own look, units and superweapon. Tanks, artillery, infantry squads, specialists, aircraft, ships, submarines and amphibious vehicles all fight on the same map. ON LAND, AT SEA AND IN THE AIR Bridges that can fall and be rebuilt, islands taken with landing craft, carriers, frigates and submarines at sea, jets and attack craft overhead, paratroopers from the sky. UNITS THAT GROW Veteran units fight better: survivors rise from Blooded to Veteran, Elite and Ironclad. Keep your best tanks alive. SUPERWEAPONS AND SUPPLY DROPS Charge an Orbital Lance, a Storm Seeder or an Aurora Array and turn the battle in one strike. Supply drops and neutral tech sites give a bold commander the edge. SKIRMISH YOUR WAY Five maps (Desert Crossing, Twin Mesas, Frozen River, Mirage Lake, Archipelago) in desert, temperate and winter theaters. Up to four commanders, free for all or in teams, three AI difficulty levels with their own strategies, fog of war, and starting crystals of your choice. MADE FOR TOUCH Tap to select, drag a box, long-press for more, control groups at your fingertips, a sidebar that folds away, and a camera you steer with one finger. Landscape, full screen, and the game saves itself so you can pick a battle up later. PLAYS OFFLINE No account, no ads, no in-app purchases. Skirmish against the AI anywhere. Online battles against other commanders, the ladder and your service record live on primewarfare.com. PrimeWarfare is made by Inprovo Software in the Netherlands and keeps growing: new units, maps and modes arrive with updates.
