3D.

This should work with gamepad, touchscreen, and keyboard, on any OS with access to itch.io ... I am making it with landscape orientation in mind, but to see anything on a phone screen you may be better off in portrait.

HOW TO PLAY

Skipper the boat while two autonomous divers collect urchins. Start with Frank's tutorial and Easy difficulty.

Buy a boat, choose Sail and a nearby ground. Use the chart and sounder to find sheltered seabed around 5-20 m deep. Select each diver, set Orders, then deploy.

Watch bubbles and orange floats. Bring the boat's port side (left facing the bow) slowly alongside a float, clear of the hull and stern. Press Bag once and stay alongside until recovery finishes. Press again to send the diver down when ready, or use Deploy/board to bring them aboard with any bag.

Recover both divers before leaving. Cross the harbour edge shown on the chart; follow its Leave by time to reach offload by 19:00. Catch sells automatically; refuel, rest and upgrade.
