Ships Squared 4+

This is -not- the battleship game you played as a kid. It's a thinking person's puzzle game that requires careful analysis and planning to play properly and enjoy. I saw this game pop up a while ago and after reading about it and seeing a review, I was intrigued. I played the Viewer app and thought it was good fun, so I bought this one. The graphics are adequate given what you're trying to accomplish, though it does take some getting use to because at the medium and higher levels, the game is quite complex. Don't buy it if you just want to play battleship -- you'll be disappointed, but it you want to solve complex puzzles without the frustrations that come with many puzzle games, then this may be a great choice for you. Try the Viewer app first to see if you like it and spend the time going through the tutorials or you won't have a clue how to play.

The first reviews are very well-written and say it all, I just want you to know this is a very satisfying mental exercise. There are a full range of difficulty senerios, and if you take the tutorial, you will be well rewarded!

To the developer, please add a scoring feature: I know I'm thinking better than before, so I'd like to keep track of my progress. Players might find this an additional dimension of interest.

Probably the best scoring method is simply to add a history of timings for each level (maybe the last 10 or 20). Can do? Thank you for an excellent puzzle app!!!

The reviews are heavily polarized because this really is a new type of logic puzzle, and it's quite a difficult one at that. Don't expect to pick it up and be able to understand what to do or how to do it without reading the guide. If that last sentence throws you off, you simply won't enjoy this game.

Otherwise, A+ for effort. This is exactly the type of game I want to see more of on the app store - Clean, bugfree and ridiculously difficult for reasons other than accelerometer control.
