A new ship has appeared! Chaos Slug is a powerful reveal ship that reveals THREE tiles on the opponent's board, but it also causes chaos on your board but revealing one of your own tile to the opponent!

Spectator mode is LIVE! You can now watch any public short battles in real time while players battle it out on the open sea. It's super fun for us to see how you all play…

What is this little red ping icon 📍 next to the emote button you asked? It’s a new way for you to interact with your opponent!

In case you haven’t noticed, BattleTabs Season 1 is here! Introducing 6 new Pirate ships, 29 new avatar parts, 24 new emotes, and 5 new medals. Join us and level up to unlock your rewards!

🚀 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!

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…

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! :)

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 :)

A new unit will be added to the game in v18, the Slug Squad! This is a 1x3 unit that has the ability to reveal two tiles...

The results are in! Close to 52% of votes went to Crustacean. It is a powerful ship to gather information…

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! 😀

You might have noticed a new look to player avatars! Now you can customise your look on BattleTabs. Click on the avatar picture on your profile page to get started.

We are continuously reviewing ship abilities and observing the meta. Some changes to ships this week:

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 😉 )

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! 😀

We have added new functions to our Discord bot. Now you can directly invite another player to battle on Discord, and check out stats and match histories. Give it a try on our Discord server!

After a month of intense battles with 70 players, four top players remain in our 2nd tournament! Congratulations to WillTheSeasoned, AnikaitGupta, HuddyBuddy, and Kraz!

The most frequently requested feature is here! You can now design your own fleet. Want a fleet with only monsters? You can do that! Want a fleet with all the sonar units? You can do that too! The sky (the sea?) is the limit.

Our 2nd tournament is underway!

With 70 players participating, it’s 4 times bigger than our first tournament, and a gazillion times more exciting! 🤼 💣 ⚔️ ⚓️

The long-awaited Battle Club is here! Battle Club gives you new ways to play BattleTabs — new ships and fleets to hone your BattleTabs strategies, animated avatars to show off your club membership, additional stats, more customisation options, and exclusive access to private Discord channels and events!
