Fine print, readable edition
Common questions before you clear imaginary water.
Is this an actual shipping simulation?
No. This is a satirical browser game. No ships were harmed.
Is it free?
Completely. Every difficulty, every board theme, the leaderboard, and 5 salvage claims a day — all free. No paid tiers, no subscriptions.
Why do I need to log in?
To save your scores and submit to the global leaderboard.
What's a salvage claim?
Everyone gets 5 a day. Hit a mine and you'll be offered a chance to file a claim — the tile becomes flagged, the run continues, and the claim is spent. The daily budget resets at 00:00 UTC.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes. Touch to reveal. Long-press to flag.
