Tank Brawl

Tank Brawl is a top-down tank game with local co-op for two players. You steer through levels, fire at enemy tanks and use destructible terrain for cover or to clear a path. Both players share one screen, with the camera positioned to keep them in view; there is no split screen.

Levels and terrain

The campaign has 23 levels across six themed areas: High attitude mountain, Desert, Underground crystal mining, Sea high way, Lush jungle and Enemy industrial City. Some levels fit entirely on screen and use a fixed camera, while larger levels follow your tank as it moves. The two level types are interspersed, and stronger enemies and more power-ups appear as you progress.

Hills and crate boxes can be destroyed. You can choose whether to clear them from your line of fire or leave them as hiding places. Power-ups can be found under boxes, beneath enemy tanks or on the ground: Pet Tanks, Picked-up Bombs, Size Increase, Slow Motion Time, Immortal Shield and Base Shield.

Upgrade your tank

After each level, you receive points to spend on your tank’s damage power, movement speed, bullet speed, life count or point earning rate. The last two upgrades call for a choice between earning more points for later upgrades and spending points to improve your tank for the current levels.

Game modes and maps

Alongside the main campaign, Survival mode challenges you to survive endless waves of enemies and beat the record scores. A level editor lets you make custom maps, upload them and challenge the community to conquer them.

Controls and presentation

Tank movement is limited to horizontal and vertical directions, with no diagonal movement. The controls use four directional buttons and one fire button. Tanks accelerate and brake, move up and down over uneven ground, and leave dust, smoke and tread marks. Firing includes gun recoil, an air shock wave and muzzle fire; enemies recoil when hit, then explode, leaving burning wrecks.
