How to play Intergalactic Battleship
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
