Flashing red tanks carry a power-up. The first hit on a carrier releases one of six bonuses:

★ STAR — upgrade: faster shells → two active shells → steel destruction.
H HELMET — temporary invulnerability.
C CLOCK — freezes enemies and their shells.
S SHOVEL — temporary steel protection around the headquarters.
G GRENADE — destroys active enemy tanks.
T TANK — grants an extra life.

Bricks break in layers, opening a passage as wide as your tank. Steel requires three star upgrades. Water blocks movement. Foliage conceals tanks, and ice makes them slide. Your own shells can also destroy the headquarters!

An independent game inspired by classic tank arcades. Code-drawn pixel graphics, synthesized audio, and no external files.
