    In Stealin, player must capture a supermajority of the playfield by dividing it with horizontal or vertical lines. While capturing with his tank, it can't be touched by enemy soldiers bouncing from the walls. It's like old good Qix but with tanks! - CAPTURE the land from general Stealin army - DRIVE the most advanced tank - FOLLOW Lieutenant Bradley and Sergeant Jaworski story - SURPRISE yourself how much you didn't know about tanks history Key features: - 36 engaging levels with unique ways to solve, - 15+ various enemy types and land obstacles, - Historical facts about tanks and military, - Engaging game story with Lieutenant Bradley and Sergeant Jaworski, - Simple control with swipe and hold to move, and just swipes to capture Game story A cruel revolutionist named Stealin successfully led rebellion and in just few years, on the peaceful territory that was used to be called Homeland, formed a new country, Stealinstan. The only one standing region is Whiteslope, a small land in the Western part of Homeland, famous from the strongest and toughest men who don't accept the Stealin's authority. With the last savings they smuggled the most advanced tank, which now you, soldier Jaworski, will use to recapture the land and bring back the peace to the world.

    Gameplay
    The player controls a tank on the map by swiping and holding the finger on the screen. Map is divided by enemy and player land with a barbed fence. The goal is to move the tank into enemy territory and draw a line in an attempt to create a closed shape. When completed, the captured area becomes players and player is rewarded with points. To complete a level, the player must claim defined per level percentage of the playfield, usually between 80% and 90%.

    Player will lose the game when enemy soldier touch the tank or uncompleted shape when drawing. The player cannot defend against the enemies and can only outmaneuver them in order to survive. Enemy soldiers can only move and bounce inside closed by barbed fence areas.

    Levels difficulty increases with the introduction of new enemy types, buildings, obstacles on the map and new game constraints like limited fuel and time.

    Fun history about tanks between levels. Some of the hints disappear a little too fast.
    At first the game is quite easy then becomes quite difficult. You have to use strategy here. You move the tank across the land areas that the enemy soldiers are in, using a virtual joystick. This creates part of the land area to vanish, where you've 'captured' the land. If the soldier touches the line you have not finished, then; level over.
    There are plenty of games out there of this genre but none are as creative as this one.
    Binary Banana made this more then an arcade game because there is an actual story here and fun little graphics.
    Who knew that this genre could involve tanks and soldiers? Well... Binary Banana did!
    Fantastic strategic time waster.

    If you are not decided yet, I just started a thread with the promo codes in the "Promo Codes and Contests". There is one for Android and one for iOS, so find your platform and let us know what you think about the game. :)

    Cheers!

    Game is quite good. Reminiscent of Qix, but added tank flavor, pretty ingenious IMHO.

    I like the gameplay itself, but ine minor complaint, the directional pad. The player should have he ability to move to the left, or completely remove altogether. Not a deal breaker but, feels like a wasted space, since you can swipe pretty much anywhere.

    To add, the history lessons between levels is quite nice and informative. Great jobs devs, think you guys did a great job. Btw, a solid time waster lol

    Thanks sugimulm! Great that you like it! Controlling on touch screen was one the most challenging part of the game, I changed that design few times and got to the current solution eventually. Arrows would be much better but that's not PC :rolleyes:

    Piracy on Android in Russia

    Today some game stats from Android after one week live.

    We just noticed that in Russia we have almost 1200 users BUT in the Google Play there is only 7 downloads, where at least 3-4 are from our promo codes that we shared there! This mean that the remaining 1193 users pirated the game. :eek:

    What's the point of advertising the game or do the translation for that market? We expected around 60% of all of the downloads to be pirated, but not 99.5%!

    Hi all,
    After 4 years of trying to sell this game as premium I gave up and I am switching it to be free. It's mostly because of the Android where piracy is too high and in some countries, like Russia, I saw 7 sold copies while telemetry showed over a 1000 gamers :)

    Good people from Reddit also suggested to add Ads and donate button so the update that is coming today will introduce it. I hate Ads and I never wanted them in my game so I hope the way they are implemented is not invasive and annoying too much.

    Stealin, after release was 1st in Poland in Strategy Games on Android, 21st in Russia, 34th in Canada and 36th in US and so on. It got really nice reviews on all platforms.

    If you like the old Qix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qix) you might like Stealin too :)

    Let me know if you have any questions or feedback for improvement.
