Can we get a direct APK download?

The game also works impressively well as a mobile PWA (aka in a browser but with its own home screen shortcut), with super smooth fps and sharp rendering (on pixel 6). The only issue I had was that I was unable to open containers because the "open" button is below the viewport.

However the main issue I have with mobile versions of this game is the fact that it's just not made for mobile. Maps are too big so everything is too small to comfortably view on a phone screen, and shooting and driving a tank (that has to steer and takes time to rotate the turret) is pretty cumbersome using touchscreen. Mobile version is only good for doing daily missions when you're away, and I can't imagine playing this game solely on a mobile phone. In this regard, it's actually really nice you switched to HTML because this way mobile version (which isn't that important) doesn't slow down the development of the main version.

I think you guys should make an actual mobile version of this game called "Tanki mini" that would be a completely different game. Then you could tailor it for mobile, for example use smaller maps and mobile-focused gameplay (e.g. simpler movement - tank would move in the direction of joystick and steer automatically, and hold-to-aim-release-to-shoot shooting system). You could make it similar to the main version and even use the same turrets, but with just enough changes to graphics, mechanics and turrets (for example ricochet could shoot molten plasma and have a shotgun-like spread) to make it interesting for existing players.

I'm excited. Been waiting for this update, can't wait to test.

I've been waiting for years, I'm a full time mobile player I never play on PC.  And I'm sick of all the loading, loading and ad pop ups in the lobby, always freezing half way in battle and loosing my score. Also no damage glitch to enemy tanks yet they can damage me. This is only a small portion of the problem's.  If new version meets my expectations I will change to 5 star review on Google Play.

I didn't received the email yet, BUT yesterday I updated the app and surprise - it's on my phone! Here is a few points:

- The app is still buggy a bit (sometimes gliching and my missions are gone) and it make my Galaxy A52 getting warm fast.

- There is no option yet to see my statistics into the battlefield (like the Tab button) and I'll be happy to watch it there.

- Also, there is no option to open Containers.

BUT after all, the app looks great (like i said in the web open test - the "Supplies flower" is a genius idea) and I am sure that with the time it will be better, well done!

First of all, keep in mind that not every player that applied to take part in the BETA test was selected. Now if you are one of the few and do not see the Update button, try the following steps and let me know if you still struggle:

• Make sure to have the Tanki Online app installed.
• On your phone go to Settings → Apps → Google Play Store and clear data and cache. Now go back, find the Tanki Online app in the Google Play Store, there must be an "Update" button.
• If you still do not find it then try scrolling down → "Join the Beta" → Join. Allow it to load for a few minutes. (To play normally the app after the test, you must go back to this section, find "You're a Beta tester" and press "Leave".)

Hello, I tried all those steps already from reading on the website. But no need to worry anymore the beta update just appeared yesterday and I updated the app and played the game and I already sent feedback via the feedback form on the website. Thanks for the help anyway all is well now.

Until now the app looks great!

I'll be happy for a button which will show us the in-battle leadership (and will maybe show/allow us to complete or to see the progress in our missions - an idea) - It's an important part of the game and the battle.

it's in plan?
