Game Overview
Tank Stars is a tactical 2D artillery game that pits iron giants against each other in explosive turn-based combat. Players take command of a personalized war machine, navigating rugged terrains to find the ideal firing position. The core challenge lies in mastering ballistic physics; calculating the exact trajectory to lob high-explosive shells across the map to neutralize enemy positions. Featuring legendary machines like the Abrams and T-34, every duel is a test of precision and nerves.
Success requires more than just raw power. With a destructible environment, the battlefield changes with every impact, creating craters that can trap tanks or obstruct line-of-sight. Your strategy must evolve as you cycle through a massive arsenal, from conventional rockets to futuristic railguns and wide-area nukes. Progress through the ranks to collect weapon cards and customize your loadout for total battlefield dominance.

Gameplay Mechanics
The game follows a turn-based artillery loop. On your turn, use limited fuel to reposition your tank for a better vantage point. Drag to adjust the trajectory arc and power intensity before firing. Each tank comes equipped with unique primary and secondary weapons. Strategic use of fuel and weapon cycling is essential to outmaneuver and outgun your rival before they find their mark.
Pro Tips
1. Vertical Advantage: Aim for higher ground whenever possible. Having a height advantage expands your effective range and makes it harder for enemies to calculate a return shot.
2. Weapon Synergy: Use a 'Taser' or 'Frost' shot to immobilize the enemy, then follow up with a high-damage 'Nuke' while they are unable to reposition.
