Sink It

🏴‍☠️ Sink It: Artillery Duel on the High Seas

Sink It creates a compelling arcade experience by combining the classic "Artillery" genre (popularized by Worms or Scorched Earth) with dynamic environmental physics. The premise is a 1v1 naval battle where the objective is to sink the opponent's ship. However, unlike land-based artillery games where the ground is stable, Sink It introduces Wave Dynamics as a primary variable. The ship is constantly rocking, altering the firing angle in real-time.

• Unstable Platform: The player controls the angle of the cannon. However, the ship itself acts as a fulcrum, tilting based on the ocean simulation. A 45-degree shot might become a 60-degree shot if a wave hits at the moment of firing. Players must time their shots to coincide with the "trough" or "crest" of the wave for consistency.
• Projectile Gravity: The cannonballs follow a parabolic arc. Heavier projectiles (if available via upgrades) have a steeper drop-off, requiring higher aiming angles.

🌊 Environmental Hazards & Power-Ups

The ocean is not just a backdrop; it is a disruptor.

• Rogue Waves: Large waves can physically block shots, acting as a dynamic shield. They can also push ships closer together or further apart, changing the required firing power.
• Collecting Items: Power-ups (like Triple Shot or Health Repair) float on the water's surface. To collect them, you must shoot them. This creates a strategic dilemma: do you waste a turn shooting a crate to heal, or do you shoot the enemy to apply pressure?

🧠 Multiplayer Mind Games

In the 2-player local mode, the game becomes a psychological battle. Since turns are rapid, players often try to "mirror" the opponent's previous shot, adjusting slightly for the wind or waves. Feigning a high angle to bait the opponent into overcompensating is a valid tactic.
