Good tank game controls disappear: you think "turn left, fire" and the tank does it. This guide covers the tank game controls for both games on Tank City Reboot, on a keyboard, a gamepad and a touch screen. It also…
The Two Towers Trebuchet is the tower the title screen labels "Stones on a crowd", and that label is the whole idea. It throws slow stones a long way, and each stone hurts every attacker where it lands. This guide covers…
The Two Towers Archer Tower is the first tower on the title screen, and its label there is "Fast arrows". Fast arrows sound like they should answer everything. They do not. This guide is about the one thing that makes…
Tank game upgrades decide how far a run goes. In a wave survival game you get a short list of choices after every wave, you can only take one, and the wrong one can leave you short of firepower when the boss arrives.…
The Two Towers Fire Tower is the tower for crowds. It throws fire pots that leave the road burning, and fire burns through armor. This guide shows you which attackers the game itself tells you to burn, how to read the…
Tank City Reboot has six tank game stages, and each one is built to test a different skill. This guide walks through all six: what each map is made of, which malware tanks it sends, and a plan to clear it. Every map and…
Playing 2048 on a 3x3 board sounds like an easier warm-up: fewer squares, fewer tiles to track. In practice it is the opposite. With 9 squares instead of 16, the board fills in a few dozen moves, and a simple count shows…
The Two Towers ballista is the tower you pick when armor, shields and helpers are what break your gate. It fires a heavy bolt through a line of attackers and ignores armor. This guide covers what the Ballista does, which…
You can play 3D 2048 on a phone with nothing but your thumbs. There are no buttons for the moves: you slide, twist and turn the cube by dragging on it. This guide shows where each drag starts, what it does, how to hold…
Two Towers hill towers are the two extra towers you buy once the game is under way. You start with two towers guarding the city gate, one on each side. Later you can buy a tower for West Hill and one for East Hill, with…
The Two Towers king stage comes every fifth stage, and it is where most runs end. On stage 5, 10, 15 and every fifth stage after, a king leads the attack. The game calls him very strong, and he hurries the attackers…
Tank game power-ups can turn a stage you are losing into one you win, but only if you know where they come from and what each one really does. This guide covers the six tank game power-ups in Tank City Reboot, a free…
These 3D 2048 tips come from play, not just from reading the rules. We played two test games in a browser, one with slides only and one with slides and twists, and watched where each one went wrong. Below is what they…
The two towers gate is the whole game. In Two Towers, attackers march on the city gate, and if it falls, the game is over. Your towers kill. The gate is what buys them time. Between attacks, the gate's sheet gives you…
If you want a tank game with boss waves that runs in your browser, Tank City Zero Day is built around exactly that: endless waves, an upgrade after each one, and a boss every fifth wave that breaks through the walls.…
These two towers tips are for the moment the game stops being about the gate. Most attackers in Two Towers march down the road and hit the city gate. Two kinds do not. Sappers go after your hill towers and dig under…
3D 2048 takes the sliding number puzzle and puts it on a cube with six faces. This guide shows you how to play 3D 2048: how to slide the front face, how to twist a row to bring tiles round from the other sides, and how…
The first decision in Two Towers comes before a single attacker appears: which tower goes on each side of the gate. This Two Towers strategy guide reads every pairing of the four towers against the attackers' own cards,…
Most lost runs in a tower defense game come down to one attacker you had no answer for. These tower defense tips go through every attacker in Two Towers, group them by the problem they cause, and match each one to the…
If you are looking for a medieval history game to use in a lesson, you probably have three questions before anything else. Does it cost anything? Will it run on the school's computers or tablets? And is the history in it…
A good tower defense game is easy to start and hard to put down: you place your defenses, the enemy marches in, and every wave asks one more question of your plan. Two Towers is one you can open in a browser tab right…
If you grew up with the 8-bit tank games, you remember the rules without thinking: guard the base, break the brick walls, never let an enemy reach the bottom of the map. A retro tank game that runs in a browser tab lets…
