Battleship Sci-Fi 1.6

Battleship Sci-Fi v1.6 has been released.

The main feature is the multiplayer over Bluetooth. This feature is available exclusive for the FULL version (The LITE version will not let you duel over Bluetooth!). Further there are small fixes in code (stabilized network code) and updated Ads library (which does not require the LOCATION permission any more).

This blog gets reactivated in hope to get more feedback from the Battleship users and have an easy to use back channel. Please write to me first, if something goes wrong, I will try to explain or fix the issue!

Feel free to put your comment to this version to this blog entry, especially, if you want my feedback!
