Quick Controls
- Angle control → Set the arc. Account for terrain between the tanks.
- Power control → Set the range. Judge the distance before firing.
- Weapon selector → Choose ammunition. Read its effect before committing the shot.
High Score Tips
- Change one aiming variable after a miss so the correction is understandable.
- Compare an explosive's effect with the ground around the target.
- Read a tank upgrade's statistics instead of treating every unlock as equal.
Set a firing angle and power, choose ammunition for the terrain, and defeat the opposing tank.

About Tank Stars
Tank Stars is a 2D tank-battle game built around a chosen trajectory. Select a tank, set the shot angle and power, and use the terrain and target distance to plan the attack. An arsenal of different ammunition types provides alternatives to repeating the same basic shot.
Progress connects victories to coins, new tanks, and upgrades. Those choices matter in different ways: a new projectile changes the attack you can attempt, while a tank-stat improvement changes the vehicle's capabilities. Keep the trajectory problem readable before spending a rare or powerful option. An accurately understood ordinary shot is a better reference for a correction than an attack chosen without knowing where it should land.
How to Play Tank Stars
Defeat the opposing tank by placing effective shots and improving the vehicle with earned battle resources.
- Select the tank and available battle option from the menu.
- Inspect the target distance and terrain before choosing ammunition.
- Adjust angle and power using the displayed controls, then use the fire control.
- Read the impact and revise the trajectory; use earned coins for the tank or upgrade that serves the next battle.
Controls & Timing
Angle and power are separate choices
A miss can come from the arc, range, or terrain interaction. Change one variable deliberately so the next impact explains the correction.
Ammunition changes the attack
Different effects provide different solutions. Read the selected option before assuming it follows the same useful role as the previous projectile.
Controls
| Input | Action | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Displayed angle control | Set firing angle | Choose the projectile arc. |
| Displayed power control | Set shot power | Adjust the planned range. |
| Displayed weapon selector | Choose ammunition | Select an effect for the current terrain. |
| Displayed fire control | Launch the shot | Commit after reviewing angle and power. |
High Score Tips
- Use the previous impact as a reference. Identify whether the shot fell short, travelled long, or met terrain. A correction based on that result is more useful than resetting both controls at random.
- Keep ammunition changes separate from aim tests. First learn a workable trajectory with a familiar projectile. Otherwise, a new effect can hide why the landing changed.
- Compare upgrades by function. Read which vehicle statistic improves before spending coins. Unlocking another tank and improving the current one are different preparation choices.
- Read the whole arc. A clear target does not guarantee a clear route over intervening ground. Consider the terrain between the muzzle and the opponent.
Key Features
- Angle-and-power shooting: Trajectory preparation drives the attack.
- Ammunition effects: Different projectiles offer different tactical uses.
- Tank progression: Earned coins support unlocks and stat upgrades.
- Battle options: Choose an opponent match or a same-device battle from the available menu.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare a shot?
Choose the ammunition, set the angle and power, and fire when the trajectory suits the target distance and intervening terrain. Use the impact to decide what to adjust on the next turn.
What should I change after a short shot?
Compare the impact with the intended landing point, then adjust a single aiming variable. Keeping the rest consistent helps show whether the correction improved the range.
Can I play with someone on the same device?
Same-device battles are available alongside online play. Use the battle menu's available option and instructions; do not assume that this means simultaneous keyboard controls.
What are coins for?
Battle rewards contribute to tank unlocks and upgrades. Read the particular benefit before purchasing so the choice addresses the capability you want to improve.
