Hills of Steel

Hills of Steel is a physics-driven tank shooter where every hill, jump, and landing changes the outcome of a fight. You drive across uneven battlefields, trade shots with enemy vehicles, and use smart timing to keep your cannon on target while your tank bounces over the terrain. With unlockable tanks, mechs, and robots plus tactical boosters, each run feels like a fast, chaotic push to survive one more wave and take control of the battlefield.

Drive, aim, and survive on a moving battlefield

The terrain is the real opponent. Your tank constantly tilts on slopes, launches off ramps, and dips into valleys, which means your cannon angle changes as you move. Winning is less about holding one position and more about controlling momentum—climbing when you need high ground, backing off to avoid a close-range hit, and firing when your barrel lines up mid-bounce.

How to play

• Move: A/D or Arrow Keys
• Shoot: Spacebar
• Repair: B

On mobile browsers, the game is designed to be playable with on-screen controls, making it easy to jump into a match without a download.

Vehicles, upgrades, and boosters that change your strategy

Progress in Hills of Steel is built around experimenting with different machines and support tools. Some tanks feel heavy and stable on slopes, while lighter builds can reposition quickly but may struggle to hold ground under pressure. As you unlock new options, the gameplay shifts from simple run-and-gun to choosing the right loadout for the kind of enemies and terrain you expect.

What you can use in battle

• Unlockable vehicles: Tanks plus advanced options like mechs and robots, each offering a different feel in acceleration, stability, and combat rhythm.
• Boosters: Mines for area denial, force shields for survival under burst damage, and rocket strikes for clearing threats or finishing tougher targets.
• Repair option: A key part of staying alive during long encounters—use it when you have space, not while taking direct fire.

Tips and tricks for longer runs

• Use hills as armor. Cresting a hill lets you shoot while exposing less of your tank; dropping into a valley can break enemy line-of-sight.
• Fire on the bounce. Your best shots often happen as your barrel swings through the target while landing or climbing—time the Spacebar press instead of spamming.
• Save boosters for swing moments. Mines and shields are strongest when you’re about to be rushed or when multiple enemies overlap.
• Repair only when safe. Create distance first—back down a slope or hide behind a ridge, then hit B to recover.
• Control your speed. Going full throttle can flip your aim away from the target; sometimes slowing down keeps your cannon stable and your shots accurate.
