Adorable battleship game!
* Your difficulty curve was great, I loved it when I started to lose and it started to snowball right around when I stopped enjoying the core gimmick. Kept me engaged for a bit longer seeing my satellite spread get demolished.
* The sounds, UI, etc. all come together to give me a feel of "Missile Command" or a "Battleship" vibe.
* I think you could use some more "boat" effects, i.e. like a radar, just to sell the game a bit more
* One thing I think would really elevate the game is more interesting boat traversal patterns. As-is I found using a 1x2 grid pattern really helped me out in finding boats. Having diagonal boats, for example, would have killed my pattern (at the cost of game complexity, sure)
* The RNG didn't feel punishing until the end, and it took me a bit to find out even where it was (the number of satellites / missiles available). Maybe another mechanic could be more complicated satellites that give pros/cons to searching specific areas?
* I know 7zip is very popular on windows, but not everyone has it. For me I dual-boot and didn't have it installed. One thing to consider the next jam which might get you a few more plays
Pretty tight, solid experience. The leaderboard at the end surprised me :) #215!
