Sinkers

Half billboard, half sea battle. Build a warship from two hundred parts, put your app on it, and sink whoever ranks above you to take their place.

About

Every ship carries something its captain made: a name, a one-line pitch and a link. The leaderboard is the billboard, and there is nothing to bid: the only way up it is to sink the ship above you, and when you do, the two of you trade places. Underneath that is a ship-building auto-battler. You fit a hull with turrets, a bow weapon, defences, an engine, gadgets and a captain, all inside the hull's energy, then watch her sail at the enemy on water that floods, lists and swallows whatever is holed. Wins drop crates, crates hold parts, and spare parts melt into the ones you use.

How it plays

01
Nothing to steer. In the Shipyard, pick a hull and fill its mounts; Best fit does it for you. Then press Battle, or Enter.
02
Space changes the speed of a fight. Each win drops a crate: tap it to start its timer, then open it for parts and coins.
03
Open a spare part and choose Upgrade to melt others into it. Rarer parts and bigger hulls turn up as you climb the ten leagues.
04
Sign in with X to hold a place on the billboard and add your app in your profile. Sink any ship ranked above you and you trade places with it.
