About Intergalactic Battleship
Battleship against an alien invasion. Ships sit hidden on a grid, you call a square, and the answer is a hit or nothing at all. From there you work out which way the ship is lying and finish it.
The rules are the ones you already know, so the space setting is the only thing asking you to learn anything. It runs in the browser on a phone or a desktop, at 800 by 600.
How to play
- Choose a square on the enemy grid to fire at.
- Read whether the shot hit or missed.
- Follow a hit along the line to find the rest of the ship.
- Sink the whole alien fleet before it sinks yours.

Tips
- Fire in a spaced pattern while you are searching. Neighbouring squares waste shots on empty water.
- Finish a wounded ship before you start looking elsewhere. A half sunk ship is the cheapest target on the board.
