Pros and cons of Naval Combat app for iPhone and iPad

Naval Combat app good for

This game is actually quite fun. Its nice to see more and more people playing multiplayer on it. I only wish I could send messages to my opponent to taunt them.

Very accessible making it fun to play with my brother who has lost his vision!

Thank you for making an accessible game like this! Its fabulous. I just want to ask one favor; would you make the "hide your ships" screen accessible with voiceover, too?

Some bad moments

Simple graphics and easy game play. If you have a few minutes to kill and want to play a quick game of battleship. You cant go wrong with this version. I got this game while it was free. 

I absolutely adore this game. You have boats and explosions and game play that could not be more simple or intuitive; you can play it with anyone, at any time, and in just seconds. Plus, it has a sweet compass! Bottom line: a simple idea executed perfectly.

Simple battleship game with solid gameplay and good multiplayer

This is a really fun game that I have played successfully with my wife, son, and friend in Florida. The game is fully accessible using VoiceOver. Thank you for making this game accessible to those of us who are visually impaired. This is a game I played only once when I was a kid and it is really well done. Excellent job, there is not much more to say.

Battleship has been one of my favorite games ever since I was a kid and playing it on an Apple2E device. It has strategy, but moves at a fast pace. This app captures all of that. With just enough deviations from the original Battleship to avoid copyright infringement, the game keeps you entertained for hours. The simple lay-out allows for full accessibility for Voice Over users, as well as a simple, fun time on the go. Like anything out there, however, this app could use some improvements. While the game moves quickly and is easy on the phones RAM, the sound effects leave much to be desired. Also, Ive yet to find a convenient way to navigate the game grid using a Blue Tooth Keyboard. Of course, the program was made for touch screen convenience, so this issue may not need to be addressed. All in all, Naval Combat may seem like just another rip off of Battleship, but the Game Center integration, simple method of play and easily earned achievements and high scores make your $.99 well spent.

Ive had a lot of fun playing this app. Thanks for the VoiceOver support!
