A highly futuristic platformer. "Tanks" currently has no story line. It is in the (very) early stages of development, but engines of games are the most time-consuming parts of developing. That said, expect some releases soon which will be more worth your time.

How to Play:
Use the direction keys to move your tank. When holding control (phase shift), tap a direction key (left, right, up or down) to change the direction your tank will teleport to. The phase shift is a short-distance teleportation device used for getting past walls or through floors.
Your tank has 2 types of health: Hull and Shields. The Hull of the tank is irreparable. The Shields, however, regenerate slowly. When your tank gets hit by a projectile, the shields will gracefully absorb the damage but will be weakened temporarily. If the shields are too weak to absorb all the damage, the hull will not-so-gracefully sustain the damage. If the hull takes too much damage, the tank will explode.
There is currently only 1 type of enemy - the auto turret. These turrets are weak and are destroyed easily, but beware: they deal massive amounts of damage when in groups.
The Bounty System
When your tank kills an enemy, you will gain a small amount of currency (dubbed "Bounty Credit" in Tanks) for the kill. "Bounty Credit" is used for upgrading your tank in the post-mission screen (coming soon), and for firing some higher-class weapons, such as the Plasma Cannon.
