I like the old timey style but must confess that I had no idea what I was doing.

This is a great idea, with great intro/sound. I admit I got fed up quickly on the first level, basically had to immediately press auto pilot then hope to correct quickly enough near the wall.

I really liked your intro and title screen. However, once I reached the first level things got a good bit confusing. Maybe it's just me, but I really couldn't figure out what to do. haha Good effort here, though! I love, love the sort of 50s/60s-ish feel this has.

Great intro style. I like the grainy gameplay graphics too.

The collision between the tank and gold cubes makes a satisfying sound.

Love the intro!

"You didn't make par. Try again."

My thoughts on this game in a nutshell.

ointment 2012-08-27 10:21

No, but seriously, I can't even get past the first level. I autopilot until it's about to hit the wall, then switch to manual, but 0.5 seconds is just way too short.

ointment 2012-08-27 10:25

Ah, nevermind. You just have to give it a short nudge so it won't hit the wall in the first place. That's kinda clever, actually.

bluefoxgs 2012-08-27 14:11

Awesome style, as everything else has said but for a first level it's kind of difficult, I mean, even Super Meat Boy wasn't as hard as this!

punga 2012-08-27 15:13

Intro is epic. But as other I just haven't figured out what to do.

kato9 2012-08-27 19:09

Ok, it took me a long time to understand what I supposed to do... There's a decent concept here but it's a bit too frustrating now - maybe go a little easier on the par times. After all, it's not like in golf when you dont hit par you have to play that hole over and over...and over.

recursor 2012-08-27 19:14

The Par times were arrived at by me playing quickly through the levels about an hour before the deadline, so yeah, it definitely deserved more thought than I ended up giving it.

Ambitious, but somewhat baffling. Lovely fallout-esqe intro, but wasn't sure what I was programming tank to do and only having half a second on level 1 didn't give any room for manouvre (literally). Original though, and the kernel of a potentially good game

ramoncb 2012-08-27 20:43

Love the intro and the old film effect! The gameplay was a little confused at the start, but very fun!

entrusc 2012-08-27 21:32

Nice game - very good implementation of the theme!

luizhgmonclar 2012-08-27 21:53

I really liked the mood, on that it aced, but I really had a hard time understanding how the game works and actually making something... I did record and made it go on autopilot, but it just didn't follow what I did before!

raroadkill 2012-08-27 23:06

very fun concept, I liked the title. took me awhile to get past the first level. An on screen tutorial would help a ton. cool idea though. I liked it

SethR 2012-08-27 23:59

Took a bit to figure out the "manual mode" is to be flipped on only for as quick as possible to do course adjustments. After that level 1 was a breeze. Level 2 I failed until I hit P to adjust rotation speed... (cheating I guess?) Level 3 I gave up, looked impossible! Great intro and cool idea.

travischen 2012-08-29 04:46

Love the jingle. I'm singing it in my head now.

datw 2012-08-31 19:13

Great intro, great humor, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

harusame 2012-08-31 19:18

Good sound and interesting concept :) Long time to understand what should I do at the start ^^'

bvanschooten 2012-08-31 22:33

I really like this type of game, I've only seen so few of them. I'd like to see a version which saves your progress, or you can start at any level.

davedobson 2012-09-03 05:31

Interesting concept, but pretty confusing - I had trouble figuring out how to plan out moves for the tank, and the par time was pretty short at first as I was learning how to play. looks cool, though, and 3D is hard to get done in 48 hours.

juaxix 2012-09-03 14:31

I love the pixel art, but i feel the gameplay is still very rudimentary, please fix that and the texts ,slower please :)
thanks

skypeians 2012-09-03 23:38

i was very confused on how to play at first. i couldn't imagine how to make it in par. very interesting concept. I really like it, now that i understand how it's played =)

moops 2012-09-04 00:10

Interesting concept but probably shouldve been introduced more gradually, I couldn't make it past the first level.

the-jack 2012-09-10 05:12

What everyone else said, and I think there's potential here.
