Haha, I know exactly the kind of game you mean! Thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for playing!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll tone down the lane-change movement to make it much easier on the eyes

Thanks for playing! I'll be increasing the game size in a future update to make it easier to see.

Thank you for you service! Still serving in the British army myself, I really appreciate it, and thanks for giving it a go!

Thank you! I'm really glad the atmosphere and tutorial landed well. I'll definitely be brightening things up and adding keyboard controls in a future update. Thanks for the great feedback!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll be improving the traffic spawning and camera movement, and I'll look at making the game scale better on desktop too. Appreciate you taking the time to play!

Thanks! Really appreciate that. I'll definitely be polishing and expanding it after the jam. Thanks for playing

Glad you're enjoying it! That's fair feedback.

Appreciate the feedback! The latest update (Phase 1) addresses the grid concern and adds a lot more variety:

> - **Grid size:** You can now choose 8×8, 10×10, 12×12, or 15×15 matches can be quick or epic.

> - **Terrain & maps:** Different terrain themes (woodland, desert, arctic) with randomly generated layouts. Forests absorb the first hit, water/mountains/villages block placement.

> - **Recon units:** Drone, UAV, and SAT satellite recon that reveal hidden terrain and enemy units plan your shots with intel.

> - **Hardcore mode:** Removes hit/miss markers true deduction like the original Battleship.

A carpet bomb charge-up is a cool idea might explore that for a future update. Thanks for playing!
