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.
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We will try playing a bit more before supporting the developer and buying the no ads. Thank you for a great game.
Just finished the last level today and Im so sad! Ive been trying to find similar games but thats easier said then done. Looking forward to new release from Binary Banana.
Developer added a personal note during first few levels, we wasnt planning on paying to disable ads, but for a one person shop its well worth paying for. Thanks for creating.
Haha loved seeing him and a great game. Great Job you two.
We dont usually rate games but since you asked nicely.
Pretty fun game, reminded us of the old Tron game from years ago.
We know it was tough to build, we read. Thank you for a near masterpiece. We only say this because YOU Sir, will make this gem even more remarkable over the years. +++.
Great game, reminds us of an old windows game we used to play for hours.
We didnt have to play the game. Real.
This game reminds of qix on sega genesis, but with added difficulty that makes the game more fun and challenging.
This takes a genre Ive loved since we were a kid with an Atari 5200 console and adds a delightful new twist, and then another, and another. Very fun game. Well made.
Cute little game about fencing in enemy soldiers with your tank, complete with trivia and a little bit of story.
Honestly the gameplay is great. Fantastic job with the graphics and controls. One of those games where if we mess up, we know it was our fault and not because of clunky programming. Super fun game to try to get 3 stars on every level. A lot of games that rely on how many stars you get are just frustrating to finally achieve 3 stars. But this one can be done in so many different ways, its not frustrating and after a few levels you start to get the hang of the best course of action. Cool it with the ads and Id give it 5 stars.
Ive never played anything akin to this. We were enjoying the heck out of it UNTIL Koalas were added and then again when a time limit was added. Now Im stuck playing level 14 for the 200th time. Ill never know what else there is past level 14. And YES, Im playing in easy mode. If easy mode isnt easy enough for some of us, we should have an option to opt out of koalas and time limits. We need a too dumb mode, or a slow reflex mode etc. Im going to have to delete this game and that makes us sad because we even paid money to remove ads.
Stealin is an incredibly smooth strategy game about driving a military vehicle to steal and capture enemy land. Stealin brings pleasing visuals and interesting gameplay. This sort of reminds us of an old Nintendo Entertainment System game that never took off.
Messaging in the cover art is self explanatory and the game lacks depth make it more interesting.
No way to stop sound for the app. We turned sound and music off in the app. But when an ad played there was sound. This is unacceptable.
Didnt get to really try it as we muted the games audio to listen to our own music in the background but unfortunately the app doesnt allow any background audio to play even if you choose to mute the games audio.
Game is painful to play. Endless ads when you dont pass a level. Deleted.
The game is simple. But its friendly and not that hard. We remember one of the same type game was so hard that we cannot pass the level after tutorial. Well done.
Excellent game, challenging, but no impossible. Happy to have downloaded.
This game is fantastic! Ive been keeping up with your story on Reddit, and Im glad to see that youre getting such great feedback. Its well deserved! The gameplay is addicting, its thoroughly entertaining, and having cool history facts thrown in is always a plus for us. Great work.
Game wont open anymore, it shows the intro screen then shuts down. Was a great game while it worked.
Annoying Fake skip button at start and then when you want to restart a level, the game ends the level as if you lost and the button to retry says Im loading and never does. If you hit the return to map button its also changes to im loading and the game locks up.
We enjoy playing Stealin, it starts with a nice intro and intriguing storyline. As you keep playing, it gets more challenging and fun to play. Our favorite part is the technique with which you capture the lands, and squeeze the enemy to the smallest area possible. We warn you, it gets addicting as you keep playing:).
Stealin is a well-balance, addictive strategy game that challenges you as you get better. The levels are designed well and the graphics are stelar! There's also a great story and good music to boot. Highly recommended.
Great little game. Very Qix-like if you're old enough to remember Qix.
We bought and played this game, it is so funny. We were impressed by perfect game story. Beside, this game have 36 engaging levels with unique ways to solve and 15 or more various enemy types and land obstacles. We also can learn a little history about Lieutenant Bradley and Sergeant Jaworski. Thank for share.
This is an awesome war simulation game where you guide your tank across the world and try conquer everything. It is extremely addictive and fun once you start, you will not be able to put the game down. The graphics are very appealing and the tutorial will help you get started right away.
Extremely engaging and hard to complete this game. Really very interesting to play this game and its graphics and playing controls are beautiful. Simple control with swipe and hold to move and just swipe to capture. Fighting technics are really different and im really enjoying this game.
Easy, fun and addictive. We really like the graphic quality. Great on our iPhone 6 Plus.
The best part of the app is the storytelling. It immersed us into the story from the beginning and continues to hold our attention throughout the game. Definitely will continue to play.
This is one of the best tank games that we have played in recent years, it being one of the most addicting tank games we have yet found.
Really fun game mechanics. Strategizing how to be most efficient on a level is a blast. Many different ways to solve a level unlike most App Store puzzle games. Dialogue is funny and the did you know facts are a cool touch! Definitely reccomend.
This game is simple and fun. Will keep you busy for hours. Easy to learn, easy controls.
Awesome game, very addictive. Lots of good info shown in between levels and funny messages too.
Great game! Playing it for days now and very addicted to it we're very happy with our purchase.
The basic mechanic is extremely satisfying, like watching a stack of papers or a deck of cards fold up nicely into a neat pile. The menus are great, the dialogue is funny, and the little 'Did you know's are awesome. That's just three of many things that make it clear that a lot of love went into making this game. Stealin is worth even more than it costs. — it's a steal. >:D –.
Very engaging and with a great game play. Worth every penny.
