An error about 'PlayMaker Unity 2D' pops up right after starting the game, but after clicking the tiny close button, the game plays really well. The controls feel great. I managed to get over 250 health :D
(I was playing the Web version)

Plays well, not particularly innovative (it's Tanks) but it played well and was fun for the time. The rainbow plays more like a flamethrower, but for a first game jam entry this is very balanced on all fields, good stuff, good work, good times abound~ :D

Fun game. Nice player feedback too, with solid mechanics. Good overall! had a nice time playing this, even if it is a bit simple.

fuzzywuzzie 2015-04-20 04:40

Awesome game! Loved the concept and the execution was spot on. That said, it was a bit too easy - perhaps some stronger enemies or more of them at a time would be called for?

I like the music, it reminds me of the old Duck Tales games back in the days of NES. :)

alfalfastudios 2015-04-20 04:54

Fun game to play! Really liked how the turret took a bit to match the mouse position.

Awesome job!

thegamefather 2015-04-20 10:22

It brings me back to the good old days, nice work! I like the part that I need to predict the enemy's movement and shoot.

deadarius 2015-04-20 12:27

That was highly political

bastienre4 2015-04-20 12:34

Menu title is awesome ! The gameplay is well balanced, even if it's a little bit easy.

flygamer101 2015-04-20 13:07

nice graphics, i liked the pixely feel. not too innovative however, but It was fun to play. I had a great time.

ajopart 2015-04-20 13:13

Good one. The music is particularly great. Can't stop playing. But maybe a little too easy. Great job !

manicminer 2015-04-20 13:17

True story about the game being too easy - it was, until 10 minutes before submission deadline, really, REALLY hard... the I halved the spawning rate on the enemies to test something, and erm... yeah, forgot to put it back :)

dkoding 2015-04-20 15:19

10/10 best game ever, would play again. :-) Please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

Nice little tank game. I really enjoyed the musics. The weird error console affected little about the game, but I managed to close it. Nice game considering that this is your first game jam entry. :) !

marcellus 2015-04-20 15:32

Nice entry, was fun and challenging. A tank firing rainbow is quite a square take on the theme.

marcellus 2015-04-20 15:46

Nah, screw conventions.

Your game looks good, the music is very nice, but a tank firing rainbow instead of bullets is suck a basic redneckish interpretation of what could have been a poetical view on weapons. How dare you saying this :

"Also not sure how it fits the theme, and feel like it might have been a design for a different theme that has been retrofitted with a "gun""

about my game, as yours totally correspond your own critic ?

People like you makes me sad about the future of ludum dare.

A tank firing rainbow... why no a gun that revives zombies...

Pityfull.

azurency 2015-04-20 17:05

Fun game, the music is good and the rainbow are so cool !!

badlydrawnrod 2015-04-20 17:12

The only thing missing was unicorns! It plays very well and I like the presentation, particularly the effect on the title text. Definitely fun to play. Cracking tune too!

havacore 2015-04-20 17:32

I really liked this one! Got me laughing pretty good once the music started. I would've liked to see some more to it, like different enemy types, bombs, etc, but with time constraint I know that's difficult to pull off.

Good work on this one!

mcfish 2015-04-20 17:34

This reminds me of old c64 games :)

kyyrma 2015-04-20 17:37

At first I just shot out single rainbows, but then I realized I can hold down the button to spew out glorious rainbow puke. A pretty solid entry! Wish the in-game graphics were as well thought out as the intro screen.

darkmeatgames 2015-04-20 18:12

I'm getting that playmaker error as well, but was able to run the game anyways after closing the log. Nice overall entry. Great audio and polish. Not enough variety though. Maybe a couple powerups or another enemy type would help.

scorched 2015-04-20 18:24

Why shall one destroy us?

manicminer 2015-04-20 19:21

Really sorry about the playmaker error people are getting - honestly I've NEVER seen it so I can't really fix it - it sounds like the game is perfectly playable, so its probably just some weird bit of Unity nonsense - If anyone can send me a grab of the error, that would be fantastic as then I can at least have a look at what might be causing it

alexdjones 2015-04-20 19:33

Great first entry, really fun and simple gameplay!

quexd 2015-04-20 19:59

I LOVE IT

mrschlag 2015-04-20 20:13

Very cool, i enjoy playing this game, Great music!

ilseroth 2015-04-20 22:53

Fun tank game, gets repetitive after a bit; but Oh those Russians, they are so charming with that intro screen.

fizz 2015-04-20 23:15

Despite being fairly short, I really enjoyed this game. Especially the music, nice job!

anokta 2015-04-21 01:16

loooved the art style, especially the title screen is so cute! :) fun to exploit the rainbow mechanic as well, haha. nicely done!

papacheech 2015-04-21 03:25

Should have rainbow explosions when you die

davidcmcdonald 2015-04-21 03:26

reminds me of "Smash TV" on the nes. really fun and brought back some cool retro memories. i enjoyed this game and think it has potential to continue. the audio was pretty strong too. good work!

ltpats 2015-04-21 03:27

Fun game, the sounds effects were really satisfying and the music was catching. Got a little boring after a bit, but could definitely have a lot more potential with some more enemies or abilities. Great work!

ewchap 2015-04-21 04:07

Nice tank controls and turret speed/rotation.

wg_phancock 2015-04-21 04:51

Reminds me of Smash TV meets Combat. The art is pretty fun!

murchurl 2015-04-21 06:22

Nice simple game. I lasted a while :p

Good job

franklins-ghost 2015-04-21 13:38

The text was great, really liked the way you did the Title Screen text. Did wish it was a bit harder though but congratulations on completing your first Ludum Dare.

nikteddy92 2015-04-21 14:33

Tetris Docet!
Btw Great entry! :D

perecil 2015-04-21 16:13

Funny game, remembers me the game Robot Unicorns from Adult Swim Game :D

teesquared 2015-04-21 18:33

Robotron with tanks and rainbows. Nice! Very polished and fun. I like the screen shake, controls, and fly text. Music and graphics are awesome too. I called it quits at 73K with more health than I started so the difficulty was a bit off. It gives new meaning to "taste the rainbow."

supermsp10 2015-04-21 20:13

great game

steboots 2015-04-22 00:10

Music fit the graphics nicely, was oddly fun to shoot rainbows at tanks to watch them explode.

rjhelms 2015-04-22 03:00

I love the music.

Not bad at all for your first game jam - can't go wrong with a compelling game mechanic that's well executed, and you've got that here for sure.

goblin 2015-04-22 11:00

Reminded me of an old game for game boy i used to play. Great music and gameplay, nice job!
check ours too http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=44367

designernap 2015-05-01 21:01

Fun little game, a bit too easy and no difficulty curve but well presented.

sytech 2015-05-02 12:59

Fun game, great music and nice graphics! I like the arcade style of it.
I would have liked an increase in difficulty though, it was a bit too easy. Also I noticed a bug where you could go outside the map with your tank and shoot into the playfield, without ever being shot back at.
