The pitch

DRENCH is a turn-based artillery game on a beach. Two sides face off across a sandcastle and lob shots over it until one side is soaked to 100%, best of three.

The wind changes every turn and pushes every shot, and the arsenal is on purpose silly: an exploding soda can, a hose, a balloon cluster, a thundercloud that rains on a whole flank.

How to play

  1. Pick a mode: one player against the CPU, two players taking turns, or watch two CPUs.
  2. Read the wind before each throw. It changes every turn.
  3. Drag back from your bucket to aim. Farther back is more power.
  4. Tap the flashing weapon to lock it, then FIRE.
  5. Soak the other side to 100% to take the round. Best of three wins.
