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.
