TABS

About TABS: Campaign and Sandbox Army Battle Game

TABS puts two armies against each other in chaotic, physics-driven combat. The game centers on two main modes — Campaign and Sandbox — where players assemble forces, position them on a battlefield, and watch the clash unfold. In Campaign, a limited budget of in-game money shapes every decision about army composition, while Sandbox removes that constraint entirely and hands control of both sides to the player. One scene shows a blue figure with googly eyes impaled by several brown wooden stakes. Another moment captures four-pointed black throwing stars scattered across bright green ground between red and blue figures. A separate scene features a red sleigh loaded with wrapped gift boxes, pulled by a brown reindeer across a yellow environment.

How to Play TABS: Place Soldiers and Press Start

Place your soldiers on the battlefield, then press Start to send both armies rushing toward each other. The opposing forces are positioned on opposite sides of the map before the battle begins. Once one army is fully defeated, the battle stops and the result is announced. In Campaign, the in-game money limit shapes which and how many units can be deployed. In Sandbox, both armies are built freely with no spending cap.
