Headshot-only destruction
Hitting a unit is only the beginning. Planes and tanks go down only when you find the head cell, which makes pattern reading the real skill ceiling.

About Pixel WarZone
A small board. A lot of psychology.
The rules are simple enough to learn fast, but every battle turns into a real reading game once you understand how planes, tanks, and head cells interact.
Each side hides 2 planes, 2 tanks, and 1 commander on a 10×10 battlefield. Players alternate turns, choose a target, and fire. A normal hit is useful information, but it does not destroy a plane or tank unless you hit the exact head cell.
That one rule changes everything. Every green hit creates tension, every miss removes possibilities, and every headshot feels earned. If you find the enemy commander, the match ends instantly. If you fail to act in time, the timer punishes hesitation.
It is a modern, cleaner take on an old-school paper game, rebuilt for quick iPhone sessions, online battles, nearby offline duels, and custom board layouts.

Key features
Built around reads, risk, and replayability.
Every feature supports the same core loop: hide your formation, read the opposing board, and make each timed shot count.
Online Battle
The matchmaking server first looks for another player. If nobody joins in about eight seconds, a server-controlled challenger enters so the battle can begin.
Nearby Offline Match
Host or join a local match over Bluetooth or nearby Wi-Fi. It is ideal when another player is close by and you want to connect directly.
Custom Board
Start with the ready-to-play default board, then move every unit, rotate planes and tanks, and save a formation designed to keep the opponent guessing.
Fast turn rules
Each turn keeps the pressure on with a 15-second decision window. Three timeouts in one match result in a loss.
Game Center leaderboards
Game Center authenticates the player and receives online wins, total matches, and win percentage for the game's leaderboards. Matchmaking uses the game's own server.
Game modes
Choose how you play.
Battle through the online service, connect locally to a nearby device, or shape a custom board before the next match.
Online
Online Battle
Join the game's WebSocket matchmaking queue. Another player is preferred; after about eight seconds without one, a server-controlled challenger is provided.
Nearby
Nearby Offline Match
One player hosts and one joins over Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi, without using the online matchmaking server.
Setup
Custom Board
Use the default formation immediately or move every unit and rotate planes and tanks to save a personal layout for future battles.
