⭐⭐⭐ TL;DR — This game is similar to the board game, Battleship, but you only have three minutes to strike down the enemy ships before you die. Memorize the locations of enemy ships, since the ships remain in the same location every time you die (you are stuck in a time loop until you defeat the enemy fleet). ⭐⭐⭐

Gameplay: A time-loop strategy/memory game inspired by the famous boardgame, Battleship, where you fight the same 3-minute battle over and over—every loop, you remember more. To play, click each of the grid icons to launch a strike. There is a cooldown of 1.25s per strike. There are a total of 20 ships that need to be destroyed in order to save the world and win. MEMORY IS KEY TO SUCCESS IN THIS GAME! (Note: ships patterns are generated on game runtime. In order to play multiple rounds with distinct patterns, you must refresh the page).

⚠️🚨 I believe there is a bug in the game where some of the tiles chosen by the adversary may not actually exist on the grid, preventing a win conditon. I apologize in advance if this happens to you. :(

Storyline: You're a war general trapped in an endless 3 minute loop of the world's destruction, relentlessly trying to stop the adversaries from destroying all existence. Each death presents a new opportunity—you can memorize the enemy's tactics, building your knowledge base farther each time. Do you have what it takes to break the cycle of the Battle Loop?
