Description

Tankz is a fast paced arcade styled single player hover tank fighting game where you control one of four futuristic hover tanks in a non-stop battle against enemy towers and tanks, while you search for and collect all of the flags to complete the game.

Enemy tanks patrol areas of each level, but if you get too close or shoot them from the distance, they will hunt you down and destroy you. Watch out for enemy proximity mines that get dropped around the level.

Tankz v1.5 NEW features
- TWELVE new unlock-able arenas (4 per existing theme) !!
- Three difficulty settings (Easy, Hard and Crazy)... Easy is now very easy with one shot kills and long delay before enemies shoot you. Hard is what easy was, and crazy is what hard was.
- Best times and scores are kept locally on device, per arena, to let ou know what you need to beat. Gives element of playing against yourself as well as globally.
- New player tank... Scorpion.
- New enemy laser tower (shoots laser beams rather then projectiles - ouch)
- New enemy tank "General" that shoots red plasma balls at you. It doesn't chase you down, but shoot at you from a distance, and the plasma balls explode into deadly particles. Does big damage if you are too close.
- Tank barrels now animate recoil when firing and have muzzel flash.
