About Tank Battle
Tank Battle is a cartoon action game for all ages, seen from above. The arena has grey steel walls that never break, orange brick walls that do, and little colorful tanks with smiley eyes that fire yellow balls. When a ball hits a tank, it spins around and vanishes in a puff of sparkly stars. There are no flames, explosions or blood, so it's a tank game the whole family can play.
In “Vs computer” mode you face waves of orange, purple and pink tanks. They roam the arena, and when they spot you in the same row or column with nothing in between, they fire. Clear a wave to win an extra heart and move to a new arena: the Garden, the Islands and the Maze. Your best wave is saved on your device.
“2 players” mode is a proper two-player tank game on one computer: the green tank uses W A S D and Space, the blue tank uses the arrow keys and Enter, so nobody fights over the keyboard. Each player has 3 hearts, and whoever knocks out all of the other's hearts first wins. Balls bounce once off steel walls, so you can use them to hit a tank hiding behind a corner.
How to play
- Press “Play now” and pick “Vs computer” or “2 players”.
- Drive your tank with the arrow keys or W A S D, or with the on-screen arrows on a phone.
- Fire with Space, Enter or the “Fire” button: the ball flies the way your tank is facing.
- Break orange bricks to open a path, and hide behind the grey steel walls.
- Vs computer: knock out every tank in a wave to reach the next one. 2 players: take all of your friend's hearts first.

Tips to win
- Computer tanks fire when you share a row or column with them, so keep moving sideways and don't sit in front of them.
- Balls bounce once off steel walls: fire at a wall to reach a tank that's hiding.
- Two balls that meet cancel each other out, so fire back at a ball coming your way to protect yourself.
- After you're hit you come back with a blue shield for about two seconds. Use it to get somewhere safe.
