Fun little game, although the controls were a bit wonky (the bridges could have been a little wider).

Thanks for playing my game @arzi . The controls are mainly built to work with a gamepad but I'd be interested to understand in what way they were wonky?

arzi 2018-12-04 20:19

It seemed like the tank didn't really move to the direction I wanted it to.

The classic tank controls are a bit weired in the perspective you chose. It wasn't to bad tho.

Nice game :D

It plays very well, good game feel too! A bit slugish at time but i guess you intended it :smirk_cat:

Nice classic tank game, I like.

cg-fred 2018-12-04 21:55

Thanks @arzi that's awesome feedback. Yeah it's a little different as you actually go in the direction you push the buttons. So if you push right + up it will actually to there right away. In many other tank and racing games you turn the tank with left and right buttons and then forward & back with the W & S keys. However with a gamepad it feels pretty good (in my opinion).

@sadsmile , awesome feedback. Thanks for playing the game.

@anstabo yeah, I did it on intention since after all it is a tank, although tiny :D

@staxx6 thanks so much man!

I love the look of the tanks and the tracks/trails they leave behind. Very clean and "cute". A tank game like this has always been on my list to make ever since I played one called "Fire Power" (from 1989 =) in 2 player split screen! I was somehow expecting the tank to behave "move forward when pressing forward" and steer left/right (like a remote controlled car). Maybe it would have worked better with the steering for me if I used twin stick thumb controls =) I also liked the audio but I suppose it's been opted out for a reason? Nice and fun, great work!

Thanks for playing the game and the feedback @imphenzia . Fire Power was an awesome game back in the days :) Based on the feedback on controls I should probably have an option in the future to have standard tank controls too. The audio/music is assets that I didn't create so I opted out from rating on those.

Fun game with cool effects and graphics! I don't really understand how it relates to the theme though but its a great game!

cg-fred 2018-12-12 14:09

Thanks @emperor-eagle . After you complete each stage you need to sacrifice an attribute from your tanks such as speed or health. Not a super good concept but works within the theme.

Simple but in a good way. I like the art style and everything worked well together. TANKS! What is not to like?

egos 2018-12-13 11:39

very well poblished , the control was a little difficult for me with the azerty key good entry

2018-12-13 15:14

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/8tDu1hDasJ8

cg-fred 2018-12-13 22:45

Thanks @arron-fowler, awesome that you liked the graphics and the game. O.o @egos I never though that you would have a AZERTY setup but I'll fix that in the future for sure.

Thanks a lot @jupiter-hadley enjoyed watching that and asked a bunch of people to check it out!

Fun little game! nice gameplay

jk5000 2018-12-15 08:39

A super fun idea, great music and good graphics. The keyboard controls was really bad. Overall a fine LD game.

cg-fred 2018-12-23 14:19

Thanks @arvejeitor

Thanks @joshuc

The visuals in action are great! Also I personally like the bullets physics, really fun

cg-fred 2018-12-29 21:14

Thanks @kiv you are my hero, my 20th reviewer ❤️

kiv 2018-12-29 21:44

Congratulations @cg-fred the game is worth it:) Unfortunately mine still have a lack of reviews

Reminds me of the tank game on the Wii! Graphics give off a really nice atmosphere and controls are smooth as butter. Really well done, nicely worked in the theme as well!
