TankDuel2D is a turn-based tactics and positioning game with a retro look: Plan your moves, secure lines of sight (LoS), and use cover before taking your shot. Each turn, you have limited movements and shots—whoever positions wisely wins. Objectives • Capture the enemy flag or eliminate all enemy units • Control visibility and lines of sight to avoid surprises • Minimize risks using threat zones (Gun-Threat) and secure retreat paths Game Modes • Game 1: 2 players on 1 device (hidden play) Take turns moving and shooting—you only see your own tanks. Perfect for thrilling duels on the same iPhone/iPad. • Game 3: 1 player vs. CPU Challenge the AI and test your tactics. (Game 2: 2 devices (multipeer) is currently under development.) Controls & Gameplay • Move units by tapping/dragging—impassable fields are skipped • Shots are limited and only possible with a clear line of sight (obstacles block) • Cover reduces visibility and threat • Opportunistic shots are automatically checked after a move • Forests and swamps increase movement cost Customize Your Playstyle Adjust tile size, terrain density, team size, shooting & visibility range, moves/shots per turn, airstrikes, music, and effects. A performance guard warns about critical combinations. Note on Maps/Presets Predefined maps (Easy/Heavy) and random starts are in development and will be activated in one of the next updates. © Carsten Freitag – Lüneburg, Germany '25
