    • The speaker button is on the top right corner.
• Game Play
  • Phases
    • Placement
      • Select and drag the balloon “ships” on the 10 x 6 board to place them.
        • Each ship is 1 cell wide.
        • You have 5 ships which are 2, 3, 3, 4, and 5 cells long.
      • Select the rotate button above the balloon ship to change their orientation. You can only do this if there’s ample room to rotate them.
    • Attack
      • Players attack in turns. The human player goes first, followed by the computer player.
        • Select anywhere on the grid on your turn to shoot.
        • If you attack part of a ship, the cell will turn green.
        • If you miss, the cell appears in red.
      • The first player to sink all 5 of the opponents’ ships is the winner.
      • You must shoot all but one of the balloons on a ship to sink it.
  • Strategy
    • Shoot at random until you hit a ship rather than focus on one area at once.
      • The game grid has 60 cells. Each of your 5 ships have a length of 5, 4, 3, 3, and 2. This means that 28.33% of the board has a ship. You have about 1 out of 4 chances of hitting a ship at random.
      • If you use a pattern, use a diagonal pattern, as most ships have at least 3 balloons.
    • When you do find a ship, shoot within the vicinity to determine where the next segment might be & repeat the process until the ship has been destroyed.
      • All ships are aligned vertically or horizontally.
    • To confound the enemy, try to keep your ships away from one another.
    • The most important ship is the smallest one as it is the hardest to find at random.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like games like the board game Battleship.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
