Retro Tank Battle
Drive your tank with the arrows or WASD, fire with Space, and clear the wave of 6 enemy tanks before they destroy your base or your 3 lives run out.
Enemy tanks steer themselves toward your base and shoot when they line up with you, so standing still is a losing strategy.
Key features
- The arena is a 13x13 tile map with brick walls your shells break through and steel blocks that stop everything - carve your own firing lanes.
- Play fullscreen with one click - the lives and score line and the buttons stay visible, and Escape returns to the page.
- Touch works too - swipe to steer, tap to fire, or use the on-screen pad that appears on phones and tablets.
Your score and privacy
Your best destroyed-tanks count is saved in this browser and shown in the score line - no account, no leaderboard.
Game design and limits
There is one arena and one wave design with no level select, no sound effects or music, and the enemy tanks run simple random-walk-and-align logic rather than pathfinding - so a repeat run stays fast to load, not more complex.
