The Kaisers Fleet approaches! It falls to you to learn the secret language of Morse Code and repel the naval onslaught through timing, tactics and telegraphy.
MORSE is a wave based strategy game elegantly operated with just two controls, Morse and Artillery:
Enter dots and dashes to navigate an ever changing grid of letters and numbers.
Unleash an arsenal of artillery to reveal hidden enemy positions with the flash of your strike and swiftly sink them with precision and speed.
Between waves, upgrade your reconnaissance and firepower and bolster your blockade of sea mines crucial to holding the line. With each wave the waters change, new letters are learnt, shells are spent, ships scuttled and defences tested. Can you prevail?
Navigate ever changing grid of letters and numbers using the lost language of Morse Code. Learn a handful of simple letters then master the telegraphy tree to fully scale the battlefield. Master different telegraph control schemes such as Iambic and Sideswiper.
German ships are shrouded by the cover of darkness, illuminate their positions using the flash of your artillery strikes. Distant vessels will briefly brighten, land a blast close enough and warships will be permanently revealed.
Rain down salvos of shells on the Kaiser's fleet with your artillery. Deliver direct hits for maximum damage and to save ammunition, consistent precision is rewarded with a faster feed of shells that can breach the hulls of even the strongest ships.
After successfully repelling each assault, pick between a pair of upgrade cards to bolster your arsenal, chosen with either a dot or a dash. Unlock new deadly types of artillery shell, improve your sea mines or enhance your reconnaissance. Upgrades stack so choose wisely!
Deploy a blockade of sea mines to reveal and destroy any ships that slip past your artillery. Mines can be bunched and scattered in various formations. Upgraded mines can withstand damage, have timed detonators and can relay warnings of breaches.
With each wave, a new isogram is chosen, the vertical row extends, the number of units increase and new powerful German vessels emerge from the dark waters. Survive until dawn.
