Death Plays Battleship

This is a year late, but I enjoyed it. Well done.

Good call keeping the board small--I say this as someone who likes looking at Battleship strategy for the full game!

I've only played through once and I realized I spent 15 minutes afterwards wondering if Death's strategy was random or not, or maybe Death deliberately gives you a chance to win and only "almost" beats you on purpose. I like Death as a character a lot.

I do want to replay it to see which is the case, but in the meantime, I just want to consider all the possibilities before I see for myself.

I enjoyed this a lot! It looks and feels good to play in the way it is presented. I would have expected, given its simplicity, that there would be some representation of the battleship board itself, rather than selecting from a list of pure text, but I understand the limitations of putting a game together in only four hours.

I liked Death and I wished there were more options to show respect to him rather than challenge him.

I did win the game, and I loved the message at the end where the character manages to give death itself pause to reflect.
