| Project Overview |
|
Tankwars is a remake of classic Battle City - a game from NES64 platform - created with Mark Overmars' Game Maker.
The rules are similar to BC's rules, however, some things are different. These are - for example - upgrade system, way how bullets behave, some new obstacles, health bars, new design etc.
Those, who played BC will quickly start to know what-to-do-where, for those who didn't:
* players control blue and green tank. In settings menu you can switch single mode (with chosen color) or two players mode (cooperation, where friendly fire stops hit player, or rivalisation,).
* control keys are listed in OPTIONS menu, and you can also redefine them there
* at the moment, there are about sixty-something built-in levels and some external. There are no limitations as far as external levels are concerned. On the other side, each standard level must be completed before proceeding to the next and being able to start a new game from there. It means, that at the beginning there is only Level 001 available, if you complete it you will be able to start from Level 001 or from Level 002 in future etc etc.
* the bulb is your base - keep an eye on it and don't let enemies (gray tanks) destroy it
* your aim is to kill all the gray tanks. If you do it, you will proceed to next level
* there are some bonuses and upgrades available. Some of enemies are blinking. Just after you hit them, an icon of bonus will apear somewhere. Collect it to get the benefit from bonus (you will see short description of bonus below your tank).
* upgrades have small white star in the right edge. They upgrade your tank (speed it ups, decrease reload time etc.). Once collected they will be active as long as you are alive - after losing a life all upgrades are deactivated.
* There are some kinds of obstacles - brick, stone, water, tree, swamp. Bullets destroy only bricks, but if you have an appropriate upgrade you can also destroy stones. Bombs destroy bricks and stones. Water cannot be destroyed, but it doesn't stop the bullets. Tree also cannot be destroyed, it just cover the area of playing, making observation harder. Swamp reduces speed of moving. The other two things are gates and switches. Just hit the switch to open or close the gate.
OK, that was an idea put in the nutshell. Download a beta version from
