How to play

  1. On a phone, the left thumb drives and the right thumb aims. Push the right thumb further to shoot. Sideways gives you more room.
  2. On a computer, drive with WASD or the arrows, aim with the mouse, and click or hold Space to shoot.
  3. Spend your points from the list at the top left (keys 1 to 8 on a keyboard), and pick your next tank when it offers you one.
  4. Crossed out, you are back in your margin with half your XP. The side that crosses out more tanks wins.
  5. To play with friends, start a room on this page and share the code. Everyone drives their own tank on their own phone; the host can add computer tanks.

About it

Blue against red on a big page of a notebook, ten minutes on the clock. Each side starts behind its own margin line; your margin patches you up, the other side's hurts.

Shoot sticky notes, set squares and gems for XP. They get richer toward the middle of the page, where ink bugs chase you, grumps shoot back, and now and then a Big gem turns up.

Every level is a point for health, regen, body damage, bullet speed, toughness, damage, reload or speed, and at levels 8, 16 and 24 your tank grows into something new: twin pens, long leads, scribblers, paper planes, staplers that lay traps, erasers that ram, and a compass that shoots eight ways.

A round on a phone: tanks, doodles, the level bar and the map of the page.
A round in progress. Doodles get richer toward the middle of the page; the map shows where your side is.
