Boat Hitting Out

Boat Hitting Out puts you in control of ships that collect resources and fight the same rivals again and again to take theirs. Choosing when to collect and when to attack is what decides who ends up the only winner.

Open the game

The gist

The short version

You command ships on the water, collecting resources while fighting the same rivals over and over. Beating a rival lets you take what they have gathered, and the match ends when one side is the only winner left.

What you're after

What the goal actually is

Become the only winner by collecting resources and stripping rivals of theirs. The two jobs feed each other: the more you hold, the more a win over a rival is worth.

How to steer

The controls

You move your ship with the game's own controls — follow the on-screen prompts for the exact inputs. The decision that matters is when to collect and when to attack, so keep both in view as you move.

Your first minute

Your first sixty seconds

Spend the first match learning where resources show up and how quickly rivals close in. Expect to lose early ships; every run teaches the collect-then-fight rhythm.

A gentle start

An easy way in

Collect first, fight second. Pick a rival you can actually beat, because a win against a stocked ship turns into plunder instead of an empty chase.

Where it wobbles

The usual trip-ups

If a rival keeps outlasting you, you are probably attacking before you have collected enough. Pull back, gather more, and only engage when the fight is worth taking.

When you're stuck

A smaller next step

When one rival repeatedly beats you, stop hunting them and farm resources instead. Coming back better supplied changes the fight more than another head-on rush.

From the desk

A note from our desk

Treat every skirmish as a resource trade. If a fight costs you more than it plunders, it is the wrong fight to take.

First-timer questions

Before your first play

How do I win?

Collect resources, defeat the rival ships, and take what they carry. The match is won when you are the only ship left standing.

Should I fight or collect first?

Collect first, then fight. Entering a battle with resources already on board means a win turns into plunder, and a stocked ship outlasts the fights that follow.

A rival keeps beating me — what do I change?

Stop hunting them and gather more resources before you fight again. A better-supplied ship changes the fight more than another head-on rush.
