TRZ Battleship

About TRZ Battleship

TRZ Battleship is an HTML5 take on the classic naval combat board game, built in Construct 3 by developer trezegames. You arrange a fleet of 5 ships on a 6x10 grid, then trade turns firing shots at your CPU opponent's hidden grid, using each hit or miss to narrow down where their remaining ships are hiding. It's single-player only, played against the computer rather than another person.

How to play TRZ Battleship

1. Before the match starts, drag and drop each of your 5 ships onto your 6x10 grid to position them.
2. Hold a ship to rotate it between horizontal and vertical, or tap the shuffle button to auto-randomize your whole fleet.
3. Press play once your fleet is arranged to begin the battle.
4. On your turn, click a cell on the enemy's grid to fire; a red X marks a hit and a white O marks a miss.
5. Use the pattern of hits and misses to deduce where the rest of the enemy fleet is hiding, then keep firing on your turns.
6. When a ship takes hits on every cell, it's revealed as sunk; sink the CPU's whole navy before it sinks yours to win.

Controls

• Desktop: Mouse only: click and drag to place/rotate ships during setup, then click a grid cell to fire.
• Mobile / tablet: Touch: tap and drag to place/rotate ships, tap a grid cell to fire.

TRZ Battleship tips & strategy

• Spread your ships out and avoid lining them up against the edges in a predictable pattern, since clustered fleets are easier to sweep with adjacent shots.
• After landing a hit, fire on the cells directly adjacent to it (up/down/left/right) before jumping elsewhere, since ships occupy a straight line of cells.
• Use the shuffle button during setup if you want a quick random layout instead of manually placing all 5 ships.
• Once you find a ship's orientation from a second hit, keep firing along that same line to sink it faster.
• Track misses as well as hits mentally (or on paper) to rule out empty regions of the enemy grid and narrow your search area.

What makes TRZ Battleship fun
