Can two people play Flying Tank on one screen?

Yes. Two players can play Flying Tank co-op on one iPad: same screen or two controllers.

A side-scrolling shooter where you fly a heavily armed tank. Co-op unlocks after the first level, with two controllers or one controller plus touch.

How you play together

  • Two controllers
  • Controller and touch

Two controllers, or one player on touch and one on a controller.

How to start co-op in Flying Tank

  1. Play through the first level.
  2. When you're back in the garage, switch co-op on.
  3. Connect a second controller. With only one controller, one player plays on the touchscreen and the other on the controller.

Our review

The controls are smooth, and co-op works well. You don’t even need two controllers: one player can play on the touchscreen while the other uses a controller.

Other than that, I feel a bit indifferent. It’s a constant shooting game, and to me it’s nothing special. Very biased, I know.

They put some effort into the story at the start, but the gameplay doesn’t really reflect it.

Good game, smooth for co-op, just not for me.
