ABOUT THE GAME

Ship Mazes game overview

Enemy vessels enter a maze of currents and sharp rocks with one target: the lighthouse. A defending ship must navigate the same confined water, find firing angles, and destroy the fleet before the structure is overwhelmed. The scenery is not harmless, since stone outcrops restrict every turn. Defeated opponents can leave bonuses that improve the player's ship and provide an advantage in the remaining battle. A second defender can join on the same device with a separate movement and firing setup. Victory belongs to the crew that clears the attackers while preserving the lighthouse.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Before you start

Naval rounds combine steering, line-of-fire planning, and defensive prioritization. Players circle rocks, intercept whichever enemy is nearest the objective, fire, then decide whether a dropped improvement is safe to collect.

GETTING STARTED

How to play Ship Mazes

Move into open water before shooting so an island does not block the attack. Keep the defending ship between the incoming fleet and the lighthouse whenever several enemies follow different channels.

In a two-person battle, cover separate approaches but stay close enough to assist. Pick up bonuses after the nearest threat is sunk, then return quickly to prevent another vessel from reaching the beacon.

CONTROLS

Controls and device setup

Player one steers with W, A, S, D and fires with Space; player two uses the arrow keys and shoots with Num 0. On-screen green and blue buttons also steer.

Tips for Ship Mazes

  1. Use narrow passages to funnel several enemies into the same firing direction.
  2. Do not chase a bonus while an attacker has an open lighthouse route.
  3. Two players should defend opposite channels instead of following one target together.
