Blockade Runner: Hormuz

Navigate the World's Most Dangerous Chokepoint

Chokepoint: Hormuz is an intense, browser-based arcade simulation that puts you at the helm of a massive oil tanker. Your mission is simple, but survival is not: navigate the narrow, two-mile-wide shipping lanes between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman while under heavy bombardment.

With zero room for error, you must manage your speed, steer clear of the coastlines, and dodge incoming missile fire from the northern shores.

Key Features

• Satellite-Accurate Geography: Navigate a map meticulously modeled after the real-world Strait of Hormuz, featuring Qeshm Island, the Musandam Peninsula, and accurate shipping lanes.
• Dynamic AI Bombardment: Once you enter the "Danger Zone," you will face unpredictable, procedurally generated missile attacks from the northern coast.
• Terrain Collision Physics: Don't run aground! Hitting the shoreline or the islands will kill your momentum and leave you as a sitting duck.
• Bidirectional Travel: Successfully reach the Gulf of Oman? Turn around and try the grueling westbound return trip.
• Mobile Friendly: Play perfectly on your desktop keyboard or on your smartphone using intuitive touch controls.

This is my very first game release! It was built entirely in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript using generative AI tools to assist with the coding and map generation. I directed the mechanics, physics, and gameplay loop. I hope you enjoy the challenge! Let me know in the comments if you manage to survive the transit.
