Enjoyed the game but …. **Updated**

First: Fun game. Second: I’ve had two different profiles. 1st one I ended up with “most dishonorable” and thought it was I had a loosing record. I would quit the game/app after the game was over and looked at the opponents map to learn how players were setting up .. I’d quit then because the ads that auto play. Restart the game and play another round. Third: after ending up with most dishonorable it would be almost impossible to match with another player for a game. I deleted the profile then restarted another. This time I did the same as far as playing but I didn’t quit the game after viewing the maps I would let the ads play then get into another game. Now I’m “Most Honorable” status. So it looks like you will get penalized as if you left during the game without surrendering even though you finished the game and only quit before the ads play. I get the ads in a free playing game and agree with paying to remove ads if that is what you want. The developers deserve revenue for their work. Just FYI to new players from what I’ve experienced as info. If you enjoy the game but don’t want to purchase in-app content, let the ads play after the game and don’t quit the app and restart to bypass the ads as it will penalize you and as you get more penalized it will be harder to match players and play the game going forward.

Thanks for the review Mark! The honor status reflects the amount of unfinished games. We had a problem with players leaving a match when they thought they were losing. That'S why we added the honor system. Please write us an email at support@smuttlewerk.de, I will have a look at your account! EDIT: thanks for the updated review. We just talked about that here and being honest, it should not count as an unfinished game when you close the game to skip an ad. The game data gets uploaded to the server once you get to the game results screen. And the ads start when you go back to the start scene. We have to check this, I mean, it's good for us in a way, but we don't want frustrated players because of this.

Look dude. I downloaded the the app, waited. Once it was done, clicked on the app you know to play it. Popped up glitch right back out. Didn't even see the main menu. That's how fast it was. So I clicked it again. Are you ready? Popped up glitch right back out I tried to do this multiple times, this app just don't even open! And don't even get me started on the wifi or internet bc I live literally in town pay my bills and and everything. I have wifi and internet, and a good one to! So don't even get me started on that. Soooo, I don't know what you want me to do? I'm not even going to give it a stare bc if I can't even open the app before it glitches out I can't rate this app! I mean if the app glitches right back out before I can even see anything after I click on it I can't rate it! Like I got nothing, when I click you know what I see! Ok so I click on it and as soon as I click on a gray screen quickly pops then closes right back, that's all I'm getting from this app. So I can't rate it if I'm getting nothing from this app, sorry. Wish I could rate it better. Bc I see all these other saying how good it is! Never gets boring! It's addictive! You guys did great! I love it! Great time killer!. And than here I'm thinking wow ok let me try it can't wait it must be good let's do this. And than the app does not even open. If I'm being honest I'm kinda bummed. But, I'm getting nothing from the App so. Can't even rate it.

Thanks for the review. It's hard to tell where the problem lies. Please try easy things first, like restart the device and uninstall/reinstall. If that doesn't help, write us at support@smuttlewerk.de. Tell us the device you are using and mention the problems you face again. We will do our best to help you!

The game is pretty fun but the advertisements are all for an app where young girls dance around without much clothing. Not what I want my 3 and 5 year old to see when we are sitting around on the couch. Looked up what the app was to see if I was misunderstanding and it is exactly what it seems like, a video chat that encourages kids to strip for strangers. Developers of fleet battle need to get a grip on their advertisers and not help promote this haven for predators.Response to developer:First of all, you and I have never talked via email. This is our first interaction but the folks who grew up playing battleship are now to the parenting age so the idea that only one person would take issue with the advertisement is a little naive. If there are “thousands and thousands of ad campaigns” I would think you would be more concerned that this ad is appearing so frequently in your game and not at all in other similar games (probably good information for a developer)Just because the ad isn’t pornographic doesn’t mean it Isn’t suggestive and inappropriate. I don’t have the name of the app but I am sure you can easily find that out if you truly don’t already know. You’re correct, I did have a responsibility too, which I took seriously. I deleted the app and warned others via a review (which I would gladly change if you are sincere and follow up with Apple)

I talked to you via email and was 100% transparent about all this. There are thousands and thousands of advertising campaigns getting generated each day via tens of different ad-networks. How should we, a 3 man company be able to check each ad-campaign? I'm also pretty sure, that the ad you saw was in no way pornographic, I mean you say yourself they had clothes on. And why is an ad showing young girls a haven for predators? That's a strange logic. Nonetheless, I copy/pasted the Email you sent us before and showed it to our ad-network, asking them to look for an ad like that and ban it. I asked you to take a screenshot and help us ban it, but instead you feel the need to damage our reputation. The chat in our game can be locked down (it's in the options), page 1 - we did this to protect children. My nephew and niece play our game, too. It was the first thing we talked about when we added a chat. We actually care about these things. But in the end, it's the parents responsibility to shut it down. Same goes for ads: why not just buy "remove ads" if you like the game? It's not as if there weren't options. You have a responsibility, too. Thank you. EDIT: A video chat that encourages kids to strip? Really? Was it an app for iOS that got advertised? Please send me the link via email. I will immediately take action. What's the apps name? Please also contact Apple. If what you say is true, this app has to be removed from the store. Not only that, Apple's review process shouldn't have allowed the app on the market in the first place. EDIT: Hello again! Since you wrote the first review, we haven't got any Email or review about inappropriate ads (and we get many Emails and reviews). As I said, I took action immediately and informed our ad-company, although all I could tell them was very vague. You might have noted that I'm concerned about our reputation, esle I wouldn't bother replying. I would inform Apple myself, if I had any idea what the app or whatever you saw was called. For that, I need your help. YOu said you looked it up, please give me information. Without information, Apple, just like us, can't do a thing. I respect your views, I really do - please accept my apologies for the ads you saw. I would undo it, if I could. But calling us "supporters of predators" makes me, and I hope you understand that, very angry. How would you feel?

Stop the stall players

U guys do a great job at making sure no one cheats so with that being said ,can u do something about the people who use the stall tactic basically what it is, is that they will find about 2 or 3 of your ships an then let the clock run down too 1 then hit your ship an let the clock run back down too 1 an just keep repeating this process which makes for a very long match the point of this tactic is too get the player too quit because we all know facing the computer is much easier than a human opponent its like a guaranteed win they usually will do this if they get mad because you’re beating them by a mile, or find their patrol boat, or just because they want an easy win I never quit when they do this because I’m not going to give them the satisfaction but man this makes for an extremely long match I never write reviews but this one of my favorite games

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this review, WahooChief ! And happy new year! :-) I hear you. We get more reports like that, not overly many, but some bad apples just love to ruin the fun for other people. I will make a note on our board and we will try to come up with a solution. Make sure to check the fairness button before starting a match (under the grid). I guess at least some of the stalling players will be unfair, so you can decline playing against them.
