About the game
Tugboat Battle 2 Player is a game for two people sharing one device, with nothing to download. Each of you steers a little boat, a tug or a barge, on a round sandbar in the sea. Ram the other boat to shove it toward the edge. Push it off the sandbar and you win the round.
The tide is rising. A second into every round, the sandbar starts to shrink, and by the end of the round it's only about a third as wide, so the boats keep getting closer to the edge. For the first three seconds a bouncy wall keeps both boats on, so nobody can lose straight away.
Every round lasts up to 30 seconds. If both boats go off together, the round is a draw. If the clock runs out first, the boat nearer the middle wins the round. The first player to win 3 rounds takes the match. Tap Play again for a rematch, or Menu to switch between two players and the CPU.
Each boat also has a kick, a quick burst of speed the way you're steering. After a kick, an arc around your boat fills up again over three seconds. A hard bump leaves the boat that took it slow to steer for a moment, so ramming a boat that sits still pays off.
No one to play with? Tap CPU on the first screen to play against the computer. At the start of a match it gives you a few seconds to get going before it comes after you.
How to play
- On a phone or tablet: each player puts a thumb on their own half of the screen and drags to steer, like a little joystick. Pull all the way out to kick.
- On a computer: one player uses W, A, S, D to steer and Space to kick. The other uses the arrow keys and Enter. You can also click and drag to steer.
- Push the other boat off the sandbar. First to 3 rounds wins.
Tips
- Stay near the middle. The sandbar shrinks from the edge, and if time runs out, the boat nearer the middle wins.
- Save your kick for a bump. A kick that hits the other boat hard leaves it slow to steer, and a kick that misses can carry you off the edge.
- Your kick is ready again once the arc around your boat has filled up and gone.
Good to know
- Free to play in the browser, with no download.
- Two players share one device, so there's nothing to set up and nobody to invite.
- Rounds last 30 seconds at most, so a whole match is quick.
- Nothing is saved: every match starts fresh.
