Full Broadside

Sink the fleet on a 10 by 10 grid. Five ranks from Cadet to Admiral, a solo foe that adapts to you, Game Center duels and 26 achievements. No ads, no purchases.

Full Broadside is a fleet game for iPhone. The top ocean is the other fleet. The bottom ocean is yours.

Your fleet is a carrier (5), a capital ship (4), a cruiser (3), a submarine (3), and a destroyer (2). Drag the ships on the lower grid. Tap a ship to select it, then tap it again to turn it. Shuffle deals a new layout. Ships may touch, but they cannot overlap or leave the grid.

On your turn, hold a square to see its name, such as G4, then let go to fire. A red peg is a hit. A white peg is a miss. When a ship sinks, those pegs give way so the hull can show. Sink every enemy ship to win.

Solo games are against the computer. Choose Cadet, Ensign, Lieutenant, Captain, or Admiral. Cadet fires almost at random. Admiral reads the ocean and spaces its own fleet. After a run of solo games, the rank can step up or down on its own. Game Center does not use that rank.

Game Center is the same board against one other person. Sign in, invite a friend, or take an open match. You each place a fleet. The person who opens the match shoots first. Then you trade single shots. You can leave the app between turns. A turn stays open for a week. If it runs out, Game Center can end that seat. Canceling a match that is still going resigns it.

When you are signed in, the game can report wins, a win streak, fewest shots, and shutouts, plus achievements and friend challenges. The Game Center button in the top corner opens that.

On a folding iPhone, fold it like a board on a table, hinge across the middle. Closing it pauses the game. Open it and tap Resume to keep the same ships and the same shots. On any other iPhone, the two oceans stay stacked and the phone stays upright.

Sound can be turned off from the menu. The app does not ask you to create an account, and it has no purchases and no ads.
