Storm Dock

Storm Dock is a one-thumb arcade shooter, a shoot em up about a single route: punch a tunnel through the living swarm and reach the dock before it closes. Three weapon lines with five upgrade steps each — Plasma volleys, Rocket blast, the Ion Lance beam — plus three hull tiers, and every sector demands its own class of gun. Sorties are short, the game plays offline, and one hand is enough: a shmup for a pocket, not a cockpit. Night. A storm. Black water with no horizon. Somewhere above the clouds hangs the dock, and it will not wait for you. The mother station pours black winged things onto the sea, and they lock into lattices that seal the corridor ahead. While that living wall holds, your distance counter freezes. Eat a tunnel through the formation and the counter starts falling again. How to play: your finger does exactly one thing — it moves the ship. In this arcade shooter everything else follows from position. Where you fly decides what the guns lock onto, whether the hull takes the hit, and whether you are moving forward at all. Nothing to memorise, nothing to tap twice. What opens up: kills fill the bank with scrap. Between sorties the hangar sells weapon upgrades and hull tiers; clear a sector and its beacon stays lit for good, so the next sortie starts deeper along the route. Features: • Steer with one thumb — there is no fire button • Punch tunnels through a swarm that walls the sea • Buy upgrades for three weapon lines in the hangar • Fixed shmup waves: optimise the route instead of surviving a roulette • Beacons keep your farthest sector lit • Play offline — no accounts and no ads For whom: for shoot em up players who want a route to solve. Every wave is the same wave; what changes is you. A clean pass is a solved problem, and the solution is yours to find. A sortie fits a coffee break, and your progress lives in one file on your own device. Headphones recommended: most of the frame is almost black, and the only light in it is the light you fire. The dock is waiting. The swarm is not. Support: [email protected]
