Fun, but VERY unforgiving. Changing levels should give you a new squad, or at least 5 more tanks.

@TehSkull It could be made WAY more obvious, but you do get a new tank for picking up the treasures. There are at most 3 per level though, so you won't get 5 more.

Quite a fun idea, but I often felt it was easier when I had only one tank! Would have been nice with a background music.

I find my tanks keep spawning in an awkward spot that I'd lose 90% of my tanks immediately, and have to clear everything with only one or two tanks alone. Despite that, it's very fun. :)

This is some good fun. I wasn't sure at all how I was supposed to play just by reading the instructions but I figured it out really quickly once in the game.

Like lucas, I also found it easier once I had only one tank to worry about. Was there a special bonus or incentive to keeping more than one alive by the end of a stage?

Interesting mechanic and a generally fun and innovative game, felt a bit unfair when one enemy tank was able to shoot 4 or 5 of my tanks within a fraction of a second before I could react at all.
