### 2/5 — What happened?

*2026-07-28, version 1.4.0*

This game used to be awesome play but now I can’t get pass the age pop up. No matter what age I put in and click confirm it doesn’t work. Really disappointed with this

### 1/5 — No pass and play

*2026-06-28, version 1.4.0*

On the website, they suggest a pass and play option ‘local multiplayer is available’. I could not find this anywhere on the app. This is rather frustrating as I bought the app for a plane journey. Best going for the non official versions of this game.

### 1/5 — Can't get past "Enter your age."

*2026-06-17, version 1.4.0*

Would love to play, but hitting "confirm" on the "enter your age" screen does nothing. Waste of money.

### 2/5 — The bot cheats

*2026-06-06, version 1.4.0*

The ai bot always knows exactly where my ships are, and it gets torpedos and planes, where I don’t. It makes it frustrating. Best to play with real people.

### 1/5 — Game is broken

*2026-05-27, version 1.4.0*

I want my money back ASAP!!! The game loads then stops on asking for my age, I’d type it in and press confirm, but doesn’t proceed from that screen at all. No matter how many times I type in random numbers and hit confirm, the screen is stuck on asking for my age. This is garbage! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — I ❤️this game

*2026-05-15, version 1.4.0*

I really like this game. I hope my dad could get it cause I really want him to play.

### 3/5 — 2011 battleship

*2026-05-15, version 1.4.0*

I played the old Low poly terrible graphics battleship when I was a little kid and now that I have my own phone and I am now an adult I kind of wanna play the old little Polly battleship again you know, we didn’t play battleship for the good graphics. We played battleship because it was a board game. You guys made it too complicated now and I gotta hold my phone sideways. I got a road trip coming up. I wish there was a way to roll it back to version 1.0.85.

### 1/5 — age check

*2026-04-21, version 1.4.0*

doesn’t even let me confirm my age so i couldn’t even play the game spent 3 dollars for absolutely nothing what a terrible game

### 1/5 — PLAY WITH FRIENDS DOESNT WORK ON MAC

*2026-04-20, version 1.4.0*

Downloaded this game to have fun with a buddy who lives in another state now. This happened to not be sun because the “join game” button actually never works. I will consider changing my rating if someone tells me if this can be fixed or if the developers fix it themselves.

### 1/5 — Come on

*2026-04-01, version 1.4.0*

Nothing like repeatedly losing 3 ships in a row. The AI cheats BAD. Not every time, not every day but it will happen over and over. Worse than playing with a 6 year old
