It is definitely worth a buck. May I suggest more options and the possibility at the end of the game to have the opportunity to look at the adversary battleships positions - at the end there's no rewarding message rather a ver short one and immediately you are brought back to the "would you like to twitter your score" (frankly who twitters this kind of stuff??? - I understand it is marketing but the product sells by itself).

I love seeing behind-the-scenes of iPhone app development. P.S. I just got my "Settings" shirt, I love it! Very nice video. I love seeing behind-the-scenes of iPhone app development.

P.S. I just got my “Settings” shirt, I love it!

I'd love to see more iPhone app developers share their creative process. One thing I'm especially fascinated in after seeing this video: Is there much of a technical challenge to transition a Photoshop mockup to the SDK? Or is it simply a matter of importing images like the web? Forgive me if I'm oversimplifying anything, I'm completely unfamiliar with that side of the hall. This was really fascinating.

The video itself reminds me a bit about Jonathan Ive talking about the design process of Apple products in "Objectified". I would love to see some longer videos about the design process and the choices you have made. They may seem logical for yourself now, but they aren't always to me.

When a shot hits a ship, I want a boat rocking explosion and some creaking of metal, and some Titanic-like creaking and flooding when the boat finally sinks. Oh, and the "under attack!" red light kinda looks a bit like a button that you're supposed to press, which confused me. Otherwise, Warships is really fun and I'm enjoying it. Great work!
