Take the helm. Time your salvos.

Cannonwake Clash is a single-player arcade naval combat game where a well-timed turn can matter as much as a powerful cannon. Sail through colorful arenas, battle AI-controlled ships, and stay inside the shrinking safe zone to become the last vessel afloat.

Sail with momentum

Choose your heading with WASD or the arrow keys, or hold the right mouse button to steer toward the cursor. Your ship turns and accelerates into its course, so plan your approach and leave room to escape. Fire with the left mouse button or Space, or toggle automatic fire with F. Cannons track nearby targets within range; positioning and reload timing decide when your salvos count.

Build your advantage during battle

Gather experience and repair pickups, then choose upgrades that change your firepower, reload speed, range, movement, and handling. Equip bow chain shot and stern mines to make the direction of your ship part of the fight.

Return to the harbor stronger

Earn gold through battles, unlock ships and captains, and improve your equipment before setting sail again. Fight across tropical, icy, and stormy arenas, with a sailing and combat tutorial to help you learn the helm.
