## What is SeaBattle?

The well-known classic guessing game – now in a challenging flavor. If you want more strategy instead luck, you will like this battleship game. 

[Description]

Strategy is the key word for this game. Instead having a single shot in a turn, your shot numbers in a turn depend on your healthy units number and count. At every  turn end you will only know turn numbers in which the enemy ship is hit, without knowing the exact hit positions. You will need to find the hidden ships of your opponent as quickly as possible, because he is agile. 

Launch all your available bombs and sink all enemy units. If you miss, you can try again now, with deeper vision, but probably with fewer bombs. Fire again, but don’t forget: time is ticking. The player who has the best strategy and sink all ships, wins.

[Features]

•Notebook like design, “paper and pencil” style drawings
•Multiple  Game modes for newcomers experienced players
•Single player mode for lonely days
•Two Player Game mode, you can play with friends over WIFI or Bluetooth
•Game Center integration, a Leaderboard where your score is counted
