Classic strategy game
Sink the enemy fleet before yours is lost
Play Battleship on Prongo. Position your fleet, fire at grid coordinates, track hits and misses, and sink every enemy ship before your own fleet is lost. You play against the computer on two grids: your fleet at the bottom and the hidden enemy waters at the top. Spread your ships out so one hit does not give away the next.
