Battleship-like game: Airplanes

I've been working on a game called Avioane (Romanian for airplanes) for a couple of months and I just added a nice front page on it yesterday (yes, it's from a template but I don't have much time to work on it). Every Romanian played this game as a child with classmates, during and after class.

I don't know how Battleship is so popular - it's pretty boring having to guess every single square. With Airplanes, you win by finding only the three squares that contain the heads (cockpits) of the airplanes. there is also a lot more strategy involved as you can intermingle your airplanes to confuse your opponent.

Here's how the three planes look on the board:

[image loading]

We used to have a monthly tournament ("liga de avioane") on doizece.ro but unfortunately they stopped supporting the game. I used to be one of the best players at this game, and I was quite disappointed when they removed the game

I hope this is not considered advertising (I don't have any ads on the website so I'm not making any money off of it); it's only a late night/weekend project.

The website is: http://airplanes.ro

Rotate your planes by pressing space while you drag them, BEFORE you place them on the board.

Right now it's mostly Romanians playing it (you can Google Translate if you get asked something, which will probably be "joci?" which means "you wanna play?" etc... but everything you need to know I already translated into English), but there's a huge Battleship gaming base (non-Romanian speaking) that could play my game. I just have to find them. Once I get a decent amount of regular users I'll start organizing tournaments again.

Go ahead and play it. I'm open to any suggestions that you guys have.

I have to ask: Is this game really sufficiently skill-based that tournaments for it would actually matter?
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)

Yes sir. First tournament already started HTTP://challonge.com/avioane1

I totally forgot about this thread, I'll update when I make any big changes.

Hmm. Battleships is a popular game because it fits its target audience well. This game doesn't fit any target audience well. :p

It's too complicated for kids and there are too many better options for more advanced players.

Yeah I just started it... if you log on between 11am Central and 4pm Central you'll find more players, as that's the time when Romanians come back from work/school and have time to play it.

Interesting, I never thought of that. Can you elaborate? What "better options" would you like it to have?
