Play your first 3 battles free, then unlock the full game once with Full Fleet. No ads, no subscription. FleetFold is a naval grid game with the feel of a classic tabletop toy. Hide five ships, take turns calling a shot, and watch the pegs drop: white for a miss, orange for a hit. Sink the whole enemy fleet to win. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Pass & Play: two players share one iPhone. An opaque cover hides the boards whenever the phone changes hands, so nobody sees the other fleet. • Solo: take on the computer at Easy, Standard or Hard. It plays by exactly the same rules you do and never sees your fleet. • Online: invite a friend through Game Center, or play someone nearby. Each phone keeps its own fleet private, Game Center only carries the moves, and both fleets are cross-checked when the game ends. A TOY YOU CAN HOLD • Ivory and gunmetal fleets: carrier, cruiser, escort, submarine and patrol boat • A riveted steel console with a green radar scope and amber lit keys • Cartoon splashes, blasts and sinking ships on every shot • Smooth play at up to 120 frames per second on ProMotion displays MADE FOR THE FOLD On iPhone Duo, FleetFold lays the game across the fold: the target grid on one half, your fleet and controls on the other. An optional fold-to-fire confirmation is available in Settings; tapping Fire always works, and on every other iPhone the game plays fully by touch. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Games save on your device, so you can close the app mid-battle and continue later. A match log keeps your results. ONE UNLOCK, NO ADS Full Fleet is a single purchase that opens every mode for good and is shared with your family through Family Sharing. Joining a friend's online game is always free. FleetFold shows no ads and collects no data. Terms of Use: https://intrapixel.com/fleetfold/terms Privacy Policy: https://intrapixel.com/fleetfold/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Five Elements Chess at 4.8 against FleetFold's 3.0. Five Elements Chess also leads on ratings volume (103 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). FleetFold's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Five Elements Chess sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and FleetFold sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Five Elements Chess holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Five Elements Chess has 103 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Five Elements Chess's written reviews are positive against 100% of FleetFold's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Five Elements Chess ships an update weekly, FleetFold every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
