BattleTabs on Google Play for Chromebooks
🚀 BattleTabs is now officially published on Google Play on Chromebooks! 🚀
If you are using a Chromebook, this is fantastic way of installing the game as an app. Now it can be played without having other tabs distracting you from winning your battles!
New Obscure Ability and Community Mod to Add Color Filter
We are introducing a new mechanic - the ability to “obscure” a tile! This effectively un-reveals a tile that your opponent had previously revealed. And I know what you are thinking…
New Ship - Chaotic Machinist!
We have new ships! Chaotic Machinist is powerful yet … well… chaotic! Whenever it hits an enemy ship, it also damages itself randomly by one tile. It can be a VERY powerful ship, but beware of its wild behaviour! :)
Brand New Look!
As some of you might have noticed, BattleTabs has a shiny brand new look! 😎 We’ve made the interface more stylised and re-arranged the screens - continuing to polish up the look and feel for the game you know and love :)

Crustacean Goes Free
The results are in! Close to 52% of votes went to Crustacean. It is a powerful ship to gather information…
BattleTabs Emotes and New Ships - See Slug, Magic Mirror
There is a new set of Emotes for you to use - BattleTabs Emotes! This is our very first set of custom emotes. You can find them in the same emote wheel where current emotes are located. Love to know what you all think! 😀

Updates on Coracle, Medium Galleon, and Long Sub, New 2v2 Tournament!
We are continuously reviewing ship abilities and observing the meta. Some changes to ships this week:
New Units - Magic Mirror, Mini Tourney Update, Replay and Streaming!
A new unit has been released to 🛡 Battle Club! Magic Mirror is our first Building unit, and it’s got a sneaky ability. Use the Magic Mirror to copy the ability your opponent has last used! It’s the counter of all counters. You can even mirror a mirror attack (back to back to back Catamaran shots is super fun 😉 )
New Units - Crafty Crab for Battle Club, and Electric Eels for Everyone!
A new unit is coming to Battle Club! We have our very first unity with a passive ability. Crafty Crab’s ability is automatic — when it is alive, every normal attack will generate an additional random reveal attack. It also has the shape of your favourite Tetris piece. We can’t wait to see what new fleets you’d combo this mischievous unit with! 😀
