Hi all,
Because Grid 12 is in such an early state, we don't yet have full tutorials, instructions, tooltips, and other things in place. In addition, the game rules have been changing pretty frequently. This situation should improve as the rules solidify. Our apologies for not having enough in-game help.
Game instructions:
Click to move or use WASD. Your tank's turrets will auto fire at the closest enemies. Use scroll wheel or Q/E to zoom (this is currently broken on Safari, sorry). Click on yourself and drag to adjust your tank's facing. Use 1/2/3/4 or click the onscreen buttons to activate your tank's triggered abilities.
Collect yellow gridshards from defeated enemies. Deposit the gridshards into sockets by parking near the socket. Pentagonal sockets level up towns. Build 150 total town levels to conquer the map and win. Seach the map to discover new towns.
Depositing gridshards builds towns, but it also gives you XP, which levels you up, which unlocks new tanks for you to drive. When/if the enemies are defeated, you get "victory points" equal to the number of gridshards you deposited into sockets (divided by 1000). You also get a few of your victory points awarded early (instead of at game end) each time a town is leveled up.
Hit the return key to activate chat. Type your message, then hit return to send it.
Chat commands:
/choosename <name> -- pick a name for your account (caution -- you get only one chance at this!)
/tutorial -- run the tutorial if you are not in it
/leavetutorial -- skip the tutorial if you are in it
Additionally, hit 'M' while in the game (not in title screen) to toggle the music, 'N' to mute pewpew sounds, 'F' to toggle pane fadein/out, and 'K' to switch between control schemes. 'B' toggles the starfield background.
Thanks for playing!
