The Tank Game

By ttgdev | Released Apr 24, 2012

The Tank Game is a top down arena shooter featuring a diverse set of items (abilities and weapons) each with their own unique uses and properties. Quick thinking and planning are greatly rewarded. Figuring out how to use the items you are currently holding in order to turn a situation in your favor will be far more important than just having a steady aim. Much like the quake and unreal games of old all items spawn periodically on the map rather than simply being given to you on spawning. You must therefore control and efficiently utilize these resources while also attempting to deny them to your opponents in order to prevail. The game has a strong emphasis on multiplayer and you can play with up to 5 friends on one PC in local multiplayer or CO-OP vs AI bots. Online and LAN play for more players is also supported. If you like the look of this game please also consider giving it a thumbs up vote on Steam Greenlight!! (under Official Page on the top right)

The Tank Game Patch 0.9.5 : Drop pods, menus and maps

Posted by ttgdev on Jul 19th, 2012

Patch 0.9.5 contains mostly visual and animation changes one of the most noticeable being a new tank spawning animation. Tanks now spawn from drop pods that fall through the screen and crash onto the map below. The shadows of the falling pods give an indication of where a tank will spawn before its pod actually lands on-screen. The tank death animation has also been replaced with a more detailed and snappy explosion effect.

Other changes include a new look for menus, bug fixes and new maps.
