TINMARCHPLAYER SUPPORT

How can we help?

Updated: 7 November 2026

Support for Tinmarch, the offline territory strategy game by Bayram Baş.

Version scope: These pages cover version 0.1.0 and the 1.0.0 update. Version 0.1.0 is fully free and has no in-app purchases. The Full Game purchase and free-content limits described here apply only to versions that include that feature, once available in the App Store. Check your version in Settings.

Include your device model, iOS or iPadOS version, app version shown in Settings, game mode and the steps that led to the issue. For Daily Front, include the UTC date shown in the game. A screenshot or optional gameplay report can help; remove unrelated personal information first. Never send passwords or payment details. See our Privacy Policy for how correspondence is handled.

How do I get started?

Select one of your camps, then tap a reachable target or drag toward it to send soldiers. Captured ground helps your army grow. Capture the enemy's camps and fortresses to win; wellsprings help the economy but do not keep an otherwise defeated side alive. Battles have no time limit. Open the Field Manual in Settings for controls and tactics, or replay the tutorial there without resetting your progress.

Why is the battle waiting, and how do I pause?

In the 1.0.0 update, the battle waits for your first accepted order so you can inspect the board. Selecting a base or changing the send amount does not start it. Leaving the board untouched for 20 seconds starts it automatically; the first tutorial waits without that limit. Pause freezes the battle with the board visible. Use Resume to continue, or the home button beside it to return to the menu; once the battle has begun, the game asks before you leave. The options button opens settings, the Field Manual and restart where available.

How do I unlock other modes?

Clear campaign mission 3 to open Skirmish, mission 4 for Daily Front, and mission 5 for Expedition. Clearing the previous mission is enough to continue the campaign; stars and bonus objectives are extra mastery goals. The first part of each mode is free; the Full Game opens the rest.

Do I need internet, an account or a payment?

No account is needed, and the game plays offline without advertising or subscriptions. The first part of every mode is free; one optional purchase, the Full Game, opens the rest. Buying or restoring it, opening this support site or sending a message uses your internet connection. Progress is stored on your device; there is no in-game cloud save or account recovery service.

What is the Full Game and how do I restore it?

The free part includes campaign missions 1 to 6, all of Daily Front, Skirmish runs up to three victories with unlimited new runs, and Expedition chapter 1 with five victories. The Full Game is a one-time purchase that opens campaign missions 7 to 12, Skirmish runs beyond that limit and the remaining five Expedition chapters. It opens content without changing battle rules or selling research.

It is tied to your Apple Account: on a new or restored device, open Settings → Full Game → Restore purchases while signed in to the account that bought it. Apple may ask you to sign in so it can confirm your purchase or your first download. Restoring purchases restores access, not gameplay saves. Family Sharing applies where Apple makes it available. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you first downloaded the fully free 0.1.0 App Store release, the whole game stays open without a purchase on that Apple Account. If access is missing, check that account and use Restore purchases.

What if a purchase is unavailable or awaiting approval?

Check your connection and Apple Account, then try again from the Full Game screen. A purchase awaiting Ask to Buy approval opens content after Apple confirms it; if the request was declined or has expired, you can ask again from the same screen. Cancelling the purchase leaves the free game available. If an existing purchase is missing, use Restore purchases. For unresolved errors, send the app version and error message to support; do not send passwords or payment details.

When does Daily Front change?

At midnight UTC, which may be different from your local midnight. Attempts are unlimited. Your best score stays on your device. The speed-score bonus ends at two minutes; the battle continues without a time limit. Sharing a result sends text through an app you choose; there is no online leaderboard.

What can I do after a defeat?

The result may show an observed battle pattern and a tactical suggestion. After repeated campaign defeats, the game may offer an easier opponent. This is optional; a win with that help earns at most one star, opens the next mission, and can be improved by replaying at normal difficulty. Where offered, Concede ends the battle as an ordinary defeat. The game does not automatically send these battle summaries to the developer.

A save failed. What should I do?

Keep the app installed, check that your device has free storage, and use the retry action shown in the game. Avoid resetting progress or deleting the app while trying to preserve a save. If the issue continues, email the error message and the steps that led to it. The developer cannot recover a deleted local save from a game server.

Where are sound and accessibility settings?

Open Settings for music, sound effects, vibration, reduced motion and screen flashes. The game also respects iOS text size, Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast. VoiceOver provides a battlefield summary and actions for selecting bases, choosing a send amount, attacking or reinforcing strongholds and redirecting field troops. Freely drawn routes require direct touch. If a control or text is difficult to use, send the screen name and your accessibility settings so we can investigate.

How do I erase my progress or request data deletion?

Open Settings → Reset progress and confirm to erase gameplay records. Sound and display preferences are separate. This does not remove a Full Game purchase or access from the initial fully free release. Deleting the app also removes its local data; offloading it keeps documents and data. Backups and shared files must be managed separately. Follow the data and deletion guide.

Where are the legal documents?
