Ricochet Yard
Ricochet Yard is a tank battle game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for two players on one device, or one player against a bot.
Drive a toy tank through a hedge maze and fire shells that bounce off the hedges up to four times and can hit your own tank. Every six seconds a hedge regrows across an open gap, reshaping the maze without ever cutting it in two. One hit wins the round, and the first to ten rounds wins the match.
How to play
- Drive your tank: W and S, turn with A and D (or the arrows)On a touch screen: Hold and drag to drive your tank where you point
- Fire with Q or Space. Shells bounce, and can hit you tooOn a touch screen: Tap Fire. Shells bounce, and can hit you too
- One hit wins the round. Hedges regrow as you play. First to 10
The game shows these steps as you play, the first time.
Controls
- Left tank: W S drive, A D turn, Q fires (against the bot also the arrows and Space)
- Right tank: arrows, M fires
- Touch: a stick and a fire button
Tips
- A shell arms 0.12 seconds after leaving the barrel and from then on can hit the tank that fired it, so never stand in the lane you just shot down.
- Each shell bounces up to four times and the ring around it shrinks with every bounce, so a shell with a small ring is close to fizzling out.
- Three shells can be in the air at once and the reload is 0.3 seconds, so a burst down a corridor can fill it with bounces.
How do the hedges regrow?
Every 6 seconds one open gap between two cells sprouts a hedge, which takes a second to grow and is solid once grown. It never grows on a tank or a shell and never splits the yard into two parts, so there is always a way round, but old firing lines close.
Does it play on a phone upright?
Yes. The yard is 11 by 7 cells on a wide screen and turns to 7 by 11 on a tall one. On touch, a stick appears under your finger in your half of the screen, the whole screen against the bot, with a fire button in your bottom corner.
