About Strait Escape
The strait is mined. You can’t see what’s ahead. You have to read the sea to survive. Strait Escape is minesweeper on a moving ship. You command a ship clearing mines across the world, keeping trade and travel routes safe. Start at the left edge of a minefield and navigate to the right. The waters ahead are hidden - only what’s behind you reveals the truth. CORE GAMEPLAY - Move one tile at a time: up, down, left, right - Each revealed cell shows how many mines surround it - Read the pattern, mark hazards, and find a safe path - Reach the far side to escape - Make a wrong call, and you pay for it CLASSIC MINESWEEPER, EVOLVED - Flood fill reveals safe zones - Chord to clear areas when your flags are correct - Every board is solvable - no guess traps WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Fog of war - you can’t see what’s ahead - Multiple lives - survive mistakes and adapt - Sonar pulses around your ship - Level-ups during runs with abilities that change your strategy - Items on the map: extra lives, area blasts, valuable cargo REAL-WORLD LOCATIONS - Strait of Hormuz - Black Sea - Scapa Flow - Korean Peninsula More regions coming FEEL Wake trails behind your ship. Screen shake on near-misses. MOBILE - One-handed D-pad controls - Dedicated Flag and Chord buttons - Works offline once installed - No account, no sign-up FREE TO PLAY Ads appear between runs, never during gameplay. Upgrade with Captain Pass: - Remove ads - Unlock advanced ships: Sonar Ship and Submarine WHO IT’S FOR If you like minesweeper, this is a deeper, more tactical version. If you’re new, early runs are forgiving so you can learn without frustration. The board is fair. You fail because you took a risk - not because the game cheated. Chart your course. Read the sea. Escape the strait.
