01 / Mission brief
About Tank Stars
Tank Stars is a free online artillery battle game built around measured, turn-based shots rather than constant movement. Each exchange gives you time to read the slope, choose a weapon, adjust the firing line, and decide whether a small reposition will create a cleaner angle. The objective is straightforward: reduce the opposing tank's health before it can do the same to you. Because the match runs in the browser, you can start a duel without installing a separate game client.
The weapons do not all follow the same pattern. Direct rockets reward a clear line, while spread attacks and unusual projectiles can cover a wider area or reach around difficult ground. Wind and terrain affect the shot, so the useful weapon is often the one that fits the current distance rather than the one with the most dramatic effect. Coins and upgrade cards earned after battles support longer-term progression, but learning angle and power remains the foundation of a good round.
This browser build supports desktop and touch input. On a PC or laptop, use the keyboard and mouse to move, aim, choose a weapon, and fire. On a supported phone or tablet, dragging and tapping replace those inputs. Tank Stars suits players who enjoy the deliberate rhythm of artillery games, and a short exchange can be a satisfying way to switch off from work or study for a few minutes.
