Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Wavy Navy is a video game designed by Rodney McAuley for the Apple II and published by Sirius Software in 1983.[1] Versions for the Atari 8-bit computers and Commodore 64 were released the same year. Wavy Navy is a nautically themed fixed shooter with left and right controls to move the player's PT boat, but there is an additional vertical element as the boat moves up and down with the large ocean waves that scroll beneath it.[3] The direction and speed of the waves vary per level.[4] Some reviewers found that the movement of the waves added an interesting twist, while others called it too similar to other fixed shooters like Galaxian.
