War of Ships
War of Ships drops you into the middle of the open sea with a single objective: outmaneuver and outgun enemy vessels before they send you to the depths. The game balances quick reflexes with careful planning — you'll need to read the waves, predict enemy trajectories, and time your shots perfectly to survive increasingly brutal encounters. Each ship handles differently, forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly as you unlock new vessels and face tougher foes.

What is War of Ships
Set sail into a chaotic naval battlefield where every wave hides a new threat. War of Ships tests your aim, your timing, and your nerve.
How to Play
Control your ship using the arrow keys or WASD to move and aim, then fire with the spacebar or mouse click. Sink enemy ships by landing direct hits while dodging their return fire to advance through the stages.
Tips for Playing
- Lead your shots — aim slightly ahead of moving targets to compensate for travel time.
- Use islands and wreckage as cover to break line of sight and reload safely.
- Prioritize smaller, faster enemy ships first, as they can flank you quickly.
- Manage your energy: rapid fire drains resources, so conserve for decisive moments.
- Upgrade your hull armor early to survive concentrated enemy volleys.
