How to Play Battle Ships
Quick start
Skip the logos with START, enter the fleet setup and place your ships. Choose a first coordinate, then use the hit or miss result to plan the next shot instead of revisiting the same square. D-Pad: choose a menu item or grid coordinate. A: confirm placement or a target. B: cancel/back where available. START skips the company logos in this prototype.

Battle Ships — About this game
Place a hidden fleet on a grid, then search for the opposing ships by choosing coordinates and reading the result of each shot. A hit gives a starting point for tracing the rest of a vessel; a miss helps narrow the remaining spaces. Spread your own ships thoughtfully and keep track of the line suggested by consecutive hits. This early version concentrates on the fleet-searching contest, so start by learning its placement screen and build a clear pattern of deductions one turn at a time.
