Sea Battle

What is Sea Battle?

Sea Battle is the classic strategy game at sea: each player hides five ships on a ten-by-ten grid and in turn you fire at a square of your opponent's grid. Miss, hit or sunk: from the clues you work out where the enemy fleet is hiding. You can challenge the computer, which chases a ship once it hits it, or play with two players on the same phone, passing the device between turns.

How to play

• First you deploy your fleet: 5 ships of 5, 4, 3, 3 and 2 squares, which can't touch each other. Drag a ship to move it, tap it to rotate it, or press «Random»; then «Ready».
• Take turns firing by tapping a square on the big grid: white dot = miss, red mark = hit; when every square of a ship has been hit the ship is sunk and revealed.
• One shot per turn. The first to sink all 5 enemy ships wins.
• On the small grid you see your fleet and your opponent's shots.
• Two players: between turns a screen hides the grids; pass the device and press «I'm ready».
• Against the computer: if you win you score 100 points plus 2 for each shot under 100; if you lose, 5 points for each enemy square hit. Keyboard: arrows for the crosshair, Space or Enter to fire.

Tips

• Fire in a checkerboard pattern: even the smallest ship takes two squares, so you don't need to hit every square.
• When you score a hit, try the neighbouring squares to find out whether the ship is horizontal or vertical.
• Ships don't touch: around a sunk ship there's only water.
