How do I play Strait Escape?

Move your ship with the arrow keys (or the on-screen D-pad on mobile). Numbers on revealed cells tell you how many mines are adjacent. Use Space to flag a suspected mine, and Enter to chord (reveal all non-flagged neighbors around a satisfied number). Reach the end of the strait without detonating a mine.

What do the difficulty levels mean?

Rookie has the fewest mines and is the best place to learn. Captain is the standard challenge. Admiral is dense and punishing — only clear it if you really know what you're doing.

How do stars work?

Each map × difficulty has its own 3-star target time. Finish faster to earn more stars. Your best time and star count are saved locally on your device.

I lost my progress / best times. What happened?

Progress is saved locally on your device. Uninstalling the app, clearing app storage, or switching devices will reset your records. There is no cloud save at this time.

Does Strait Escape need an internet connection?

No. The game runs entirely offline. You only need a connection to download the app itself.

Does Strait Escape collect my data?

No personal data. See the Privacy Policy for details.

The game feels laggy or the controls don't respond.

How do I suggest a new map or feature?

We'd love to hear it. Tap Send Feedback below and tell us what you'd like to see.

Can I play with friends or compete on a leaderboard?

Strait Escape is a single-player experience today. Shared leaderboards are something we're exploring.
