ご指摘ありがとうございます。遊び方が分かりにくかったとのこと、申し訳ありません。バトルタブスは「戦艦ゲーム」がベースで、相手の艦隊の位置を当てながら、各艦の特殊能力を使って先に相手を全滅させた方が勝ちです。チュートリアルと日本語の表記を分かりやすく見直します。操作に迷ったら battletabs.com/discord でお気軽にご質問ください。

unexpected greatness

i thought this was gonna be another boring cash grab game but it’s actually a fun cash grab game

5 out of 5

Honestly you can’t go wrong with this game,no ads,fun gameplay,and an active development team. After playing on chrome extensions for years I am overjoyed to see it on the Apple Store. With unique ships, and easy to learn gameplay, you just can’t hate this game. Would recommend if you’re thinking of getting it.

Hoher Akkuverbrauch

Zieht viel zu viel Akku, in 38 Minuten 26%, sonst aber spaßig

Response from developer

Danke für diesen Hinweis! Ich werde weiter daran arbeiten, die Leistung zu verbessern. Haben Sie versucht, die Grafikeinstellungen zu verringern? Sie finden sie auf der Seite Einstellungen. Das könnte helfen. Danke, dass du das Spiel ausprobiert hast! Thanks for letting me know! I will continue to work on improving performance. Have you tried lowering the graphics settings? You can find it in the Settings page. That might help. Thanks for giving the game a try!
