Your goal is to find and sink your opponents ships before they sink yours.
Game begins with each player placing their ships on the board.
You can rotate the ships by right-clicking on them.
You can either place your ships manually, or use the auto-deploy button.
If your timer runs out before placing all your ships, they will be placed randomly on the board.
Once all ships are deployed, game starts with both players taking turns firing at their opponents.

GAME MODES

TIPS

In Salvo mode, it's best to get powerups early to sink their ships fast.
It's good to get powerups later as they are usually stronger.
The smallest ship is 2 squares, use the info to be efficient in your search.
The Torpedo powerup ignores hits and misses.
Some powerups are for club pogo members only, but can be stolen!
A powerup pod covers 4 squares. Each pod has only 1 powerup, once found, the remaining pod squares disappear.
