The goal

Four bases stand in the four corners of the map, red, blue, green and yellow. Every base holds 5 tanks. A tank takes 2 hits; when it is destroyed, the next one drives out of its base a moment later. When a base has no tanks left, it is out. The last base still fighting wins the match. After 4 minutes the base with the most tanks left wins (and with a tie, the one that hit the most).

Every match gives trophies: 30 for a win, 15 for 2nd place, 5 for 3rd and 2 for every tank you destroy. Trophies never go down, and they count on the online Top 50.

Ways to play

Quick game: the server puts you together with other players. If nobody comes in 20 seconds, bots take the empty seats, so a match always starts.
Play with friends: make a room and send its 5-letter code or its link. The host picks the map and can add or take out bots. A friend who joins takes a bot's seat.
2 vs 2: in a room with friends (and in Practice) the host can choose teams: the two top bases against the two bottom ones.
Practice: a match against bots, right on your device.

Bots are always marked with 🤖 and a grey name, so you know who is a real player.

What you will meet

Bricks break when you shoot them, so you can open a new way. Steel blocks never break. Bushes are only a look: you drive and shoot right through them.
Power-ups appear on the map every few seconds: 🛡️ shield, ⚡ rapid fire, 🔱 triple shot, 💨 speed and ➕ an extra tank for your base.
Soldiers: the helmet button next to fire fills when you hit tanks (3 hits) or by itself over 40 seconds. Tap it and 3 soldiers run out of your base and fire rockets at enemy tanks and soldiers.
8 maps in different worlds: Crossroads, Brick Maze, Fortress, Frost Field, Green Jungle, Lava Land, Neon City and Candy Land, or 🎲 Random.
A fresh tank has a short shield when it drives out of its base.

More to discover

Coins for every match (50 for a win, and 5 for every tank you destroy) and 16 looks for your tank: new hulls like Heavy, Scout and Beetle, and paints like Desert, Arctic, Tiger and Night. A look never makes a tank stronger: every tank is the same size and as strong.
After a match with friends, one more game starts in the same room with the same people.

Tips

Stay near bricks and steel: they stop shots. Shoot a hole in a brick wall only when you need the way.
Grab power-ups early: a shield or triple shot often decides a fight between two tanks.
Keep your soldiers for a busy moment, when two enemy tanks are near or an enemy base is almost out.
Do not chase every tank: while two players fight each other, the third one wins. Pick the weakest base.
In 2 vs 2, stay close to your team mate and aim at the same enemy.

About the game

Boop Tanks is a fast top-down tank battle for up to four players. Each player starts in a corner base with five tanks, and a match lasts at most four minutes. The map is full of brick walls you can break, steel walls you cannot, and bushes, and power-ups keep falling into the middle of the battle.

You can play with people from anywhere in a quick game, or make a room and play with your friends: everyone for themselves, or two against two. Empty seats are filled with bots, so you never wait long, and you can always practise against bots on your own.

Every match brings trophies for the Top 50 and coins for new looks for your tank, and the soldiers you call in, the eight worlds and the power-ups make every match a little different.

Questions and answers

Do I need to sign up?

No. Open the game and press Quick game. You can choose your name for the Top 50 at any time.

Can I play with my friends?

Yes. Press Play with friends and Make a room, then send your friends its 5-letter code or the link. They type the code (or open the link) and appear in your room. The host starts the match; bots fill the seats nobody took.

Am I playing against people or bots?

Both can happen. In a quick game the server waits 20 seconds for people and then fills the empty seats with bots. Bots always have 🤖 and a grey name above their tank; people's names are white.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, in the browser of any phone, tablet or computer. On a phone hold it sideways. You need an internet connection for online matches; Practice works without one.
