How to play
Tips and detailed strategy
Bearing Hunt is an original precision game where you find the direction of invisible radio signals using a single rotating dish antenna at the centre of the screen. Move your mouse (or finger) and the dish points toward your cursor's bearing from the centre. Signals are pinned at unknown bearings on the perimeter ring; they don't emit a visible mark until you find them. The horizontal bar at the top shows your current signal strength: it climbs as your aim approaches a real signal and peaks exactly on it. When the fill crosses the small tick at 85% you're inside the lock tolerance — press Space, left-click, or release a tap to fire a 'lock ping' along the current bearing. A successful lock plants a coloured dot at the signal and bumps your score; a miss costs 3.5 seconds, so each shot is expensive. Anti-spam cooldown limits you to a few locks per second. Find all signals in a round to advance: the signal count grows from 3 up to 7, the tolerance window shrinks from ±10° down to ±3.5°, and the minimum gap between signals tightens so neighbouring peaks won't merge. Your score over 60 seconds is the total number of signals you lock; your local best is saved. For keyboard fine-tuning, A/D or arrow left/right rotates the antenna by 2.5°. Strategy: sweep widely between the four cardinal points first (N-E-S-W shown around the ring), slow down when the bar exceeds 20% fill, and once it crosses 50% start nudging back and forth — you'll learn to read the peak in degrees, not seconds. Don't fire while the bar is in the grey zone; missing penalties stack fast.
