Just wish you didn’t have to pay for the battle pass to get your full stats; and a way it can be improved is to show what each boat does when when you obtain it. But great game ### 5/5 — Klare Empfehlung *2025-07-24, version 55.15* Sollte man mal gespielt haben ### 5/5 — MajklG *2025-04-28, version 55.15* Perfect! ### 4/5 — Číta *2025-04-26, version 55.15* Very funny ### 5/5 — 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩GET THIS GAME! *2025-03-21, version 55.15* This game is super fun.

It takes battleships and makes it unique, portable and fair. I’m used to playing in browser but coming to mobile has made it even better, and you can still pick up on browser any time with linked progression. Highly recommend you support the devs who have been steadily building the game over the past years. ### 3/5 — Matchmaking? *2025-02-11, version 55.15* Never met him ### 2/5 — Неиграбельно *2025-01-30, version 55.15* Игра прикольная, на компе гонял в дискорде, но на телефоне не робит, потому что при движении картинки каждый кадр остаётся на экране, и в итоге получаем просто кашу из пикселей( ### 2/5 — Needs more time beta testing *2025-01-24, version 55.15* It has some potential but I got maybe 30 mins in and I won my first game then the game crashed and deleted all my progress ### 5/5 — Battleship 2.0 *2025-01-11, version 55.15* Its battleship if each different ship had a special ability to help. Its fun. Play it. You can trust me, the mysterious internet man! ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-01-02, version 55.15* Very casual , very fun ### 2/5 — issue prompt *2024-11-24, version 55.15* connection issue and expected issue all the time, it feels like you are only have one server ### 5/5 — Really fun, good strategic game *2024-11-18, version 55.11* Highly recommend for anyone who’s looking for a chill that school game that’s easy to play and not too intense ### 5/5 — Great game! *2024-11-15, version 55.11* Love how quick you can play the games and change the fleets. Gem of a game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Busted *2025-07-21, version 55.15* I was having fun playing this game on discord, so I thought I’d get the actual app. It opens to a blue screen and never loads, can’t play the game. Guess I’ll have to keep playing on discord ### 1/5 — This was gonna be a fun game *2025-05-02, version 55.15* The game starts good but the timer to set ships is to short. Besides that I don’t like that when I run out of time it sets me back to the starter ships even though I come in with a custom fleet I didn’t change mid match. Also the matches kind feel like bots. Cause there was a moment when the shape of the ship was very clear and instead of taking it out they shot around it. Maybe it was a really friendly player but I just was turned away from the game due to the time for placement ### 1/5 — connecting issue *2024-11-11* Every time before the game start，there is an unexpected issue happened, that preventing me to win in streak ### 1/5 — This game LOOKS fun but *2024-11-10, version 55.11* So far it isn’t even playable for me. I got past the tutorial, tried to play my first game and my opponent and I were both stuck at the “placing ships” screen. Now whenever I load back into the game it just has me stuck at the “Existing Account Found” screen without letting me accept or decline. So it’s frankly just not playable for me right now. Uninstalling I guess. ### 1/5 — Game just reset me to level 1 *2024-11-08, version 55.11* Was playing for like an hour, got to unlock the fleet with the octopus, then joined a quick match and got a white screen 1/2 way through and reloaded to the home screen to find I had lost all my progress and was back to square one. Game itself is fun, just battleships but with powerups. ### 1/5 — Incredibly buggy, matches don’t start or end when timer ends *2024-11-07, version 55.11* Endless battles because the games never time out when the enemy doesn’t play, so you’re stuck sitting there forever. Worthless app until this is fixed. Also the whole app just looks blurry on pro max phones. ### 1/5 — Turn based but biased *2024-11-02, version 55.11* Not a good game. Biased features. Boring turn based ### 1/5 — Will not pay $1 *2024-10-31, version 55.5* Nope. Immediate paywall. Rng pvp. Nope ### 1/5 — Hot *2024-10-31, version 55.5* Makes iphone 14pro max hot ### 1/5 — need chinese mode *2024-10-31* need chinese plz ！ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — unexpected greatness *2026-07-20, version 55.60.0* i thought this was gonna be another boring cash grab game but it’s actually a fun cash grab game ### 5/5 — 5 out of 5 *2026-06-26, version 55.60.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Superfund Battleship Game *2026-06-13, version 55.60.0* Such a fun take on a classic game with cool ships that give sweet advantages and level the playing field. Research to get bigger/better ships and invite your friends to the battle! ### 5/5 — FUN & Great for Meetings and the Classroom *2026-05-14, version 55.60.0* Love getting a few rounds in during meetings and class! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-09, version 55.60.0* Good ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-03-03, version 55.45.1* Fun, quick game, five stars ### 5/5 — Make @notlawson @lawson again! *2026-01-07, version 55.37.0* I have played this game since it came out, OG status, and I love it! The game is well made, the community is great and to top it off, you’re Dev team actually talks to us and wants things to work smoothly for us!! Most of all I want to thank @notlawson for the extremely hard work he has been putting in over this last week to fix the problems this hacker created for us, for who knows why. He has been staying up for nights trying to get things back to normal, I’ve been communicating any problems I see on my end to try and help any way I can. Thank you to @notlawson and the Dev team. You are appreciated! ### 5/5 — This game is just great *2026-01-05, version 55.37.0* I have been with this game for at least 4 years now(when it was a chrome extension) and it has grown so much. The community is great and the Devs put so much work and care into their game, it shows. I can’t recommend it more for a quick burst of fun every day. ### 5/5 — A unique twist on battleships *2025-11-08, version 55.15* It’s actually a solid game you play real people. The maps are always different. They don’t shove ads down your throat. I hope the battle pass does not give an unfair advantage. It’s a good game. ### 5/5 — Very fun Battleship-like game *2025-11-01, version 55.15* Very clever game that’s a lot of fun to play. A wide variety of ship abilities means that there’s plenty of different ways to win - games last around 5-10 minutes and are much more about strategy and fleet composition than pure luck.
