How to play

  1. In the build phase, pick a piece and tap the desk or the top of another piece. Start from a ready layout or clear it. Turn and Stand up rotate a piece, Undo takes it back, and Save keeps your fort for next time.
  2. On your turn, drag down to pull, sideways to turn, and let go to fire. The dotted path and ring show where it lands; slide back up to cancel.
  3. Slide your launcher sideways with the arrows for a better angle. Tap View to drag the camera; pinch or use the mouse wheel to zoom.
  4. Take out both of the other side's royals before they take out yours.
  5. To play a friend, start a room on this page and send them the code. You each build a fort on your own phone, then take turns firing; win two rounds to take the battle.

About it

Two forts stand on a desk, built from erasers, books, rulers, pencil cases and tape. Each one hides a paper king and queen. Take turns firing at the other fort. A royal is out when its health runs out or it falls off the desk; take out both of theirs to win.

Everything has real physics. Pieces topple, crack and fall, tape holds them together until it snaps, and a good shot at the right block brings a whole wall down.

Build your own fort piece by piece, turn and stand up pieces, and save the designs you like. Win battles for skill points and spend them on an evolution tree for each weapon: pencils that never run out, eraser shots that knock walls over, and ink that splashes and blows things apart. Play the eight-desk campaign, a quick battle against the computer, or a friend on their own phone.
