We've all seen the little game where you get a tank, and you have to shoot the other guy by adjusting the power and angle. Pocket Tanks takes that concept to an entirely new level by adding in hundreds of crazy weapons and the use of a score system rather than lives.
How the game is played is that you choose the level of difficulty for your enemy, then you go to choose 10 weapons from a randomly generated list. Once you and your opponet have 10 weapons, the game starts. You and the enemy are stationed on opposite sides of a hill, and you take turns shooting the wackiest weapons at each other, trying to score as many points as you can before you run out. All land is destructible and makes for unique situations. Shooting yourself causes to to lose points equal to as if you shot the enemy.
Knowledge of your weapons is crucial, because they do so many different things.
Some basic examples are:
Single Shot- the basic shot, sends one shot and explodes in a medium radius
Dirtball- when it lands, it expands to bury your opponent, causing them to shoot themselves and lose points
Dirt Mover- Eliminates land in a triangular shape related to angle of shot
Bouncy Dirt- any land that is touched becomes bouncy and most weapons bounce off it
Tracer- shows where a shot would hit within 10 degrees
Hailstorm- when it hits, it becomes a liqiud and flows downward, causing maximum damage if your oppenent is in a trench
Cruiser- when it hits the ground, it will travel for a while, exploding when it hits the enemy or after an amount of time
Skipper- bounces up to three times before exploding
These were some of the basic weapons that come with the game for FREE.
That's right. Pocket Tanks comes with 30 weapons when you get it for FREE on their website. And you can buy expansion packs that add even more weapons.
The expansions take the weapon count to 250 with additions like; Beehive, Neon Blast, Mega Nuke, Super Nova, Fireworks, Leapfrog, and many more.
I fullheartedly recommend this game to anyone who likes simple, original arcade games.
