How to play Sea Boom
Nothing here needs explaining twice. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
Controls

|---|---|
| Mouse | Aim |
| Left click | Fire |
| WASD | Move |

On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
The reason Sea Boom holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — shooting — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
