the enemy tanks are a bit over powered, i chose all tank cars, and let em all go at once, and they couldnt put down 1 tank guy, and that tank enemy destroyed all of my cars. other then that, this is a pretty cool idea.

Hmm, camera behaves really strange. Shouldn't it follow my leading tank? I don't know about Windows, but on linux it doesn't move.

The concept is nice! As for gameplay, I found pickups useless. =)

Really nice idea and a great polished implementation. Some sound effects and music would have added to the experience, though. Well done!

A little hard to get into, but everything works really well and looks polished. Nice work!

Thank you all for your feedback. I added some hints to the description as an attempt to help with some of the flaws.

@JCMonkey The game is designed so it can't be won by just using one card type. You need to figure out what cards work best against or to support others. If a tank looked more powerful than yours it was probably the case that many tanks stacked and overlapped so they looked like one.

@Yngvarr I think your camera solution would've been way better than the one I implemented. You currently need to manually move the camera by moving the cursor to the sides of the window.

@Fylipp Sounds would've been great. I tried to implement sound but didn't knew the engine well enough to get it working so I needed skip that sadly.

Congratulation for finishing the game in Compo.

Awesome effects and tank model looks just ultra super hyper mega cool.

Liked the concept :) The game itself would need some balance and extra feedbacks, especially on card activations.

You could include a note about the camera controls somewhere, only realized I could move it after reading the comments. :slight_smile: The playing field was nicely designed though, really looks like there's a battle of some kind going on. If you want to improve a bit more on that feeling, maybe you could make the bombs/shells leave small craters instead of just the pillars of smoke they do right now though.

Also, a bit :thumbsup: for the parallaxing, people deeply underestimate just how good that particular effect can make something look.

@mAnimal Glad you like it. Those took some time to get right.

@deepnight I agree, there still are a lot of things to improve.

@Ananace I tried to add those hints when I wrote the previous comment but it looks like something went wrong. Thanks for the tip! I added them now. Also thanks for the graphics suggestions.

I liked it! A little too easy, but that is to be expected in a gamejam setting where there isn't enough time to finely tune the game. Better too easy than too hard anyway.

I really liked the aesthetics. The smoky battlefield was a nice touch.

Good job!

Looks cool nice game mate

I saw game like this before , but without card limits . I think your idea much better . But I can't use bombs , or I can't understand how to use it.I liked it at all.

The game was too hard the first two or three times because i did not know why the enemy tanks were so powerful. but once I realize how the repair works, the magical ratio for me was all tanks, 2 air strikes, 2 repair cars, and you can win within 30 seconds ^___^ XD. I liked the idea of the game, although not having a sound really affected your game.

Nice take on the theme and overall well done. :)

chadrbanks 2018-05-02 01:43

Bombs were not clear on how to use, but I figured it out. I enjoyed it overall. More levels and challenges?

2018-05-14 21:35

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6TXc0bclc
