What is MORSE?
In this single-player, top-down strategy game, you hold off the Kaiser's fleet until dawn. Enter dots and dashes to navigate a changing letter-and-number grid, then fire shells to reveal and sink ships hidden in darkness. Between waves, choose stacking upgrades for your artillery, reconnaissance, and sea-mine blockade.
For you if...
- +you enjoy rising difficulty as the battlefield expands
- +you like balancing precise inputs with tactical decisions
Not for you if...
- −you want conventional controls without learning dots and dashes
- −you want multiplayer battles rather than solo defense
