Armor Alley™ Tutorial

Armor Alley Tutorial

Boot Camp: Training

  • Your mission, should you accept it …

    Your job is to build and escort convoys, with the goal of getting a van to the enemy base.

    On mobile, all controls are touch-based.
    Inventory is behind a button like so:

    First up, weapons: While flying, try firing guns (SHIFT) and dropping bombs (CTRL).

    You can also click to change direction.

  • Repair + refuel your chopper

    Return to your base’s landing pad to repair and reload.

    Green lines and a sound will indicate completion.

  • Destroy an enemy Convoy

    You’ve got company! Look for white blocks on the radar. Don’t let their van reach your base!

    Bombs (CTRL) are effective on tanks.
    The machine gun (SHIFT) is good for others.

  • Pick up some Infantry

    Return to your base, and order some infantry.

    On desktop, press the i key for infantry.
    Use the touch controls to show the inventory menu via the button.

    Land in front of infantry to pick them up.
    Fill up on infantry. You can carry five at once.

  • Claim an enemy Bunker

    Find an enemy bunker near your base.
    Enemy buildings are orange blocks on the radar.

    Drop an infantry near the bunker via SPACE.

    Enemy bunkers have a left-facing arrow, and will "claim" the first passing infantry.

  • Claim an enemy Super Bunker

    Super Bunkers can be neutral and dangerous, or armed by up to 5 Infantry which man the guns.

    There is a Super Bunker near the midway point; look for a yellow-ish rectangle on the radar.

    Super Bunkers will fire at everything except tanks. Tanks can disarm Super Bunkers.

    To disarm the bunker via helicopter, drop 3 Infantry from directly overhead, using space.

    Super Bunkers can be a powerful defensive tool. They're just slightly wider than your helicopter...

  • Build a Convoy

    Order a Missile launcher, Tank, and a Van using the underlined letters.

    You need funds to build convoys. You start with a number of funds, and they are earned over time.

  • Destroy the enemy Helicopter

    The enemy is out there, but may be hiding.

    You should see a grey triangle on the radar.
    Find and take it out!

  • Defeat incoming Smart Missiles

    Missile Launcher vehicles self-destruct and fire when an enemy helicopter is in range.

    Enemy units are ahead. Avoid missiles until they run out of fuel, or attempt to shoot them down.

    Smart Missiles show up as fast-moving red dots on the radar, so keep an eye out!

  • Rebuild a Turret ( to )

    Engineers are capable of claiming enemy turrets, and rebuilding and repairing friendly ones.

    Turrets can be great defensive units, but very challenging to fight - especially on harder levels.

    There is a dead turret near your base.

    Order some Engineers, and watch them repair the turret if you like.

  • Destroy an enemy Turret

    Turrets target helicopters, and can fire rapidly.

    Turrets are vulnerable to Infantry, Tanks, Bombs, and Smart Missiles (X).

    In harder levels, they will also fire at Tanks!

    Find and destroy the turret near the midpoint.

  • Earn 50 Funds

    Funds are earned at a regular interval. Fortune favours those who fly further into enemy territory.

    For a challenge, get infantry into the enemy’s end bunker to steal some of their funds!

  • Mission accomplished.

    You have completed bootcamp training.

    You can keep playing, or exit the tutorial and play the full game.

    Be warned, the full thing won’t be this easy!

EXPERIMENTAL DISCLAIMER

This level editor is a work in progress!

Think of it like a toolbox of brushes. Select a brush, then "paint" the landscape with e.g., tanks, bunkers, or flowers.

How-To

Click and drag the landscape, or use the "scrollbar" in the top radar area to navigate.

Placing Items

To place a Tank, press T (shift not required), then click near the ground. Use the < > keys to switch sides.

Some elements are grouped by type. Press the relevant key, e.g. S for structures, G for grass / gravestones. Once active, press the same key or use [ ] to cycle through items.

Once there is an "active" type, click near the ground to place it.

Selecting Items

Click an item to select it. Arrow keys can move L/R one pixel at a time.

Click while pressing CMD / windows / meta-key to draw a selection marquee. CMD-click on an item to toggle and do multi-selection. Shift can be held during marquee for multi-select / toggle.

Press esc to exit "placement" mode.
