Place your fleet on a hidden grid, then call out coordinates to hunt down your opponent's ships before they sink yours. Every shot is a guess refined by hits and misses as you close in on each vessel.
How to play Naval Battle
- Place your ships on your grid, keeping their positions hidden.
- Call a coordinate to fire at your opponent's grid.
- Mark each shot as a hit or a miss to track your hunt.
- Keep firing on a ship's surroundings after a hit to sink it.
- Sink your opponent's entire fleet to win.
Tips & strategy
- After a hit, fire along a straight line to find the rest of that ship quickly.
- Search the grid in a spaced pattern early to cover water efficiently.
- Spread your own ships apart so a single lucky area doesn't sink several at once.
Controls: Tap or click a grid cell to fire at it.
