// App Description
Short (1 sentence)

Morse Command is an asteroid-style iOS game that teaches real Morse Code fluency using the Koch Method — the same approach used by ham radio operators worldwide.

Medium (2–3 sentences)

Morse Command is an iOS game that teaches Morse Code through 80 levels of tactical arcade gameplay. Built on the Koch Method — the gold standard for CW training — the game pairs an adaptive AI engine with asteroid-style combat to build genuine copy ability, not just pattern memorization. Built for ham radio operators, preppers, and military veterans who want to learn the code the right way.

Long (full description)

Morse Command is an iOS game that turns one of the oldest communication skills in the world into a modern tactical challenge. Built on the Koch Method — the scientifically proven approach used by ham radio operators, military communicators, and CW enthusiasts — the game teaches Morse Code at full speed from day one, the way expert operators have always recommended. Players defend their base across 80 levels and 8 distinct zones, each introducing new Morse characters and escalating enemy threats. Eight enemy types — from fast-moving Rushers to screen-buffing Commanders — each demand different decoding strategies. Every zone culminates in an epic boss battle that tests everything learned so far. An adaptive AI engine tracks per-character accuracy in real time, increasing exposure to weak spots and pulling back on mastered characters. Little Kid Mode lets parents and grandparents share the game with young children — every input counts as correct, delivering full visual feedback while subconsciously exposing kids to Morse sounds. Four combo-unlocked power-ups (Slow Field, EMP Blast, Repair Kit, Nuke) reward sustained accuracy and add strategic depth to every session. Morse Command is built by Merkle and Bloom and is currently available on TestFlight for iOS.
