Play a round

  1. Play with two people on one device. Red uses the left half and Blue uses the right half, and the phone rotates the battlefield sideways in portrait.
  2. On your turn, watch the cannon sweep until it reaches the angle you want. The direction keeps changing while you prepare the shot.
  3. Hold anywhere on your half to start the power meter. It rises and falls repeatedly; release at the strength you want to fire.
  4. Wind bends every flight. Each explosion carves the random terrain and removes one heart from every tank in its blast radius, including your own.
  5. Both tanks begin with three hearts. Destroy the opposing tank before your own health reaches zero.

Strategy for this version

  • Use a medium-power first shot to learn the current angle, elevation, and wind instead of immediately gambling on maximum force.
  • Watch the wind arrow before charging because a strong tailwind or headwind can move the landing point by a surprising distance.
  • Craters change later shots: a tank that drops lower becomes harder to hit directly, but a nearby ground impact can still catch it in the blast.
  • Avoid firing at a low angle when the cannon points toward nearby ground; friendly fire costs exactly the same heart as an enemy hit.
