This is the web site of Ships Squared (Ships²), the new game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It's available now from the iPhone App Store.
You
probably grew out of Battleships a long time ago. Now it's time to grow back
in. Because Ships² is for adults, not children. It's like Battleships on steroids.
It's addictive. If you let it, Ships² will take over your mind and ruin your
life.
Thirteen ships are laid out on a 10x10 board according to strict rules. You fire at squares. You get the results. You deduce where the ships are. And you draw them. Unlike traditional Battleships, you don't actually need to sink the ships: it's deducing their layout that is the achievement.
There are 10 levels, all using the same basic rules. The lightest levels can be played casually while waiting for the bus. The middling ones take from 5 to 20 minutes of concentrated thought. The heaviest levels demand intense, rigorous, error-free reasoning for half an hour or more. Only a few geniuses will attempt the top level, which takes an hour at least.
Ships² is not a game of chance but of reasoning. It's a workout for the mind. Like all workouts, you mustn't overdo it. As it says on the bottle: please think responsibly!
Ships² can create an unlimited number of different games for you to play. You can design your own layouts too, and send them to your friends to see how well they do.
NEW: Leaderboards
If you tap on the number-of-shots counter at the top of the screen, you'll see a leaderboard that shows your recent games and how well you did at them. This information is not shared with anyone else.
