Defend Against the Kaiser in MORSE: A Unique Morse Code Strategy Game

The Kaiser's fleet is approaching! In MORSE, you must master the lost language of Morse code to repel the naval onslaught. This captivating wave-based strategy game combines tactical gameplay with the challenge of telegraphy. Prepare for an engaging experience where timing and precision are key to victory.

MORSE offers elegant gameplay using just two controls: Morse code input and artillery command.

• Navigate an ever-changing grid of letters and numbers by inputting precise dots and dashes.

• Unleash your artillery to illuminate hidden enemy positions and swiftly sink them with well-timed strikes. Use the flash of your artillery to reveal and eliminate threats.

Between waves, upgrade your reconnaissance and firepower, and reinforce your sea mine blockade, crucial for holding the line. Each wave brings new challenges: new letters to learn, shells to spend, ships to scuttle, and defenses to test. Use the lost language of Morse Code to survive until dawn.

Telecommunicate. Illuminate. Eliminate. Upgrade. Blockade. Prevail.

Learn a handful of simple letters and then master the telegraphy tree to fully control the battlefield. Experiment with different telegraph control schemes, such as Iambic and Sideswiper, to find your optimal playstyle.

German ships are shrouded in darkness. Use the flash of your artillery strikes to illuminate their positions. Distant vessels will briefly brighten, and a well-placed blast will permanently reveal enemy warships.

Rain down salvos of shells on the Kaiser's fleet with your artillery. Deliver direct hits for maximum damage and efficient ammunition use. Consistent precision is rewarded with a faster shell feed, enabling you to breach even the strongest hulls.

After successfully repelling each assault, choose from a pair of upgrade cards, selecting them with either a dot or a dash, to bolster your arsenal. Unlock new, deadly types of artillery shells, improve your sea mines, or enhance your reconnaissance. Upgrades stack, so choose wisely to create powerful synergies.

Deploy a blockade of sea mines to reveal and destroy any ships that slip past your artillery. Mines can be clustered or scattered in various formations. Upgraded mines can withstand damage, have timed detonators, and relay warnings of breaches.

With each wave, a new isogram is chosen, the vertical row extends, the number of units increases, and powerful new German vessels emerge from the dark waters. Strategically upgrade your sea mines crucial to holding the line.
