It is first time, but not so bad when you get used to the controls. I don't think it'll ever be as good as keyboard, but thats the trade off for being able to play Tanki in bed or on the train.

The screen of the phone is just too small. And I am not addicted to the point I want to play in my bed or in train. The only good thing so far is that if some day I don't want to turn my computer on, I can simply go on the mobile version and claim one mission to continue the week 10, but that's it.

 

I find that gameplay is not intuitive at all on mobile.

I've been playing the mobile version for 2 weeks now and this is my observation. Most of the complaints are valid. However, the main thing holding the mobile game back is the directional controls. They are, quite frankly, totally crappy and make the game almost unplayable.

 

The sad thing is that it could be so much better and simpler from a players viewpoint. The quickest fix to making the mobile version funner and easier to play is to completely redo the driving interface. This is a must if the Devs want this game to be successful.

 

Sadly the Devs have tried to emulate the keyboard arrows with basically a 4 position control pad. Up is forward, down is back, and of course left and right. this orientation stays the same regardless of tank orientation. Which causes great confusion while playing. Especially in crowded environments. This setup rarely works in a basically simulated 3d environment. The best controller set up is one where the controller direction of travel is based on the orientation of the tank on screen. Whichever direction the tank is facing is the forward direction on the controller. For example if the tank is facing the top of the screen then up is forward. If the tank is facing the left side of the screen then left is forward. Whichever point on a compass it faces is the forward direction on the controller. To try and make it even more understandable, try to imagine the tank  completely encircled by a ring and you control a light that moves around the ring. Wherever that light is on the ring that is the direction that the tank will go. Of course 180 degrees from the forward direction is reverse.  This will make for a more intuitive directional interface that is easier to learn and causes less confusion when driving and shooting or maneuvering in a crowded environment.

 

Some have suggested a full auto aim mode because of the crappy driver interface. I have to disagree with the full auto aim suggestion. It removes any skill from the game. I do think, however, that the auto aim box currently used needs to be enlarged on the mobile version to compensate for the smaller screen. This will make mobile users more equal with their PC user brethren. Also it will help when firing while moving and help overcome some of the deficiencies in the directional controls compared to the PC version.

 

Lastly they need to get rid of the circular selector for supplies and enlarge the supply buttons at the bottom of the screen. This would greatly simplify the use of supplies and other functions.

If the link in the email isn't working you will need to make the email as 'Not spam' this is only for a Gmail account. Then the links should work. If that doesn't work the email might need to be marked 'Safe'. A guide to do that is here: A full guide for different email providers here.

 

 

If neither of those work you can find a download link here: Mobile Version - [Guide] Step by Step process
