# Basic Gameplay

Angrymals is a PvP turn-based action game played 1v1 between two players. Base mechanics are very simple, taking inspiration from Angry Birds which should allow players to easily learn and play the game quickly.

Each team has three animals. The goal is to reduce the other team’s animal’s HP to zero. Players create their own fortresses to put the animals in, and they take turns shooting at each other with weapons, breaking down the fortress and damaging the animals. 

Players drag and release to aim and shoot weapons like Angry Birds. Shots first destroy the cover / building that the animals are in, before damaging the animal, and when structures collapse on top of animals, they take additional damage.

The game ends when the HP of all three animals in one team has been reduced to zero, resulting in a victory to the other team.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.angrymals.io/game-mechanics/basic-gameplay.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
