Cheat mode purchase
How do I restore cheat mode on a new or reset device?
Open Settings in the game, or the cheat mode offer screen, and tap RESTORE PURCHASE. Make sure the device is signed in with the same Apple ID (App Store) or Google account (Google Play) you bought it with.
What does cheat mode include?
An invulnerable player and base, skip stage, destroy all enemies, a tank upgrade, an extra life, enemy AI off, and a Test Range stage. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Why didn't my score count?
Stages played with cheats still unlock the next stages, but they don't record scores. You can switch cheat mode off or on at any time in SETTINGS.
How do I get a refund?
Purchases are handled by Apple or Google, and we can't issue refunds ourselves. For the App Store, go to reportaproblem.apple.com; for Google Play, use your order history in the Play Store or Google Play Help.
Two players on Wi-Fi
How do I start a two-player game?
Open MULTIPLAYER. On one device choose HOST GAME, on the other JOIN GAME. The joining device looks for the host on your Wi-Fi and connects.
The game doesn't find the other device
- Same Wi-Fi. Both devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network, not one on Wi-Fi and the other on mobile data or a different network.
- Local Network permission (iPhone, iPad, Mac). Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network (on a Mac, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network) and turn it on for Tank Battle: Firefall City, then open the game again.
- Guest and public networks. Many guest, hotel and office networks use client isolation, which stops devices from seeing each other. Try your home network, or a personal hotspot that both devices join.
- Join by IP. If the host still doesn't show up, use JOIN BY IP and type the host device's IP address.
Which devices can play together?
iPhone, iPad, Android devices and Macs with Apple silicon can all play together, in any combination, as long as they are on the same Wi-Fi.
Does a two-player game use the internet?
No. The devices find each other with Bonjour and talk directly over your local network. Nothing goes over the internet and there is no server in between.
Your own stages and campaigns
How do I import a campaign file?
Open the .cotcampaign file (or a single .cotstage) with the game: tap it in
Files, in Mail, or when it arrives by AirDrop, and choose Tank Battle: Firefall City. A campaign is
added to your campaigns, a single stage to MY STAGES. You can also use
IMPORT FILE in the game.
How do I share my campaign?
Use SHARE for a campaign, or SHARE STAGE and tap a stage. The share sheet lets you send the file by AirDrop, Mail or a messaging app, or save it to Files.
A campaign file won't open
Campaign and stage files are JSON. A file that was edited by hand or cut short in transit may not open. Ask for it to be sent again, or write to us and attach the file.
Controls
How do I control my tank?
On a touch screen, use the joystick to drive and the fire button to shoot. The game also works with a keyboard and with game controllers.
How do I change the language?
The game is in English, Czech and Russian. Change it in SETTINGS → LANGUAGE.
Privacy
Does the game collect my data?
No. There are no ads, no analytics, no accounts and no tracking, and your progress stays on your device. The privacy policy has the details.
