Information:

Tanks is a simple game about, well... tanks. The goal is to shoot your opponent with tank shells, taking turns (if two-player is active) to attempt to hit each other. Destroying your enemy with a well-placed shot is the goal, but each level has it's own quirk that makes achieving this interesting and difficult.

2-Player Mode does what it says. The game is turned to a turn-based multiplayer experience, where the player is able to hand the controls to a friend and take turns shooting at each other, couch co-op style.

Directional Wind mode can be activated for aditional challenge. The wind will affect projectiles and cause their trajectory to be changed in either direction. This makes the game a bit more like golf, where aiming in accordance with the wind is important (or just getting lucky).

Lindsay-Mode is named after a kind old fellow that shoehorned himself into the game. In this mode, the player has the option to detonate their shells mid-air. This causes them to create a similiar effect to a cluster bomb, raining multiple mini explosives down on the enemy. How fun!

Controls:

Mouse button 1: The mouse is used to hold, and release a shots from the tank. The shot be fired in the direction of the mouse.

Mouse button 2: The mouse button used to warp the tank shot during level 9 specifically.

Spacebar: While 'Lindsay-Mode' is active, spacebar can be used to cause a mid-air tank shell to explode, creating its own cluster bombs. This is best used whilst above the enemy, or if the shot looks to miss.

Q: The 'Q' key returns to the menu screen, useful for restarting the game or changing settings.

RThe 'R' key reloads the current level.

The numbered keys, 1 - 10 (0): The number keys allow the user to quickly move between the levels in the game. This functionality is not requried to play the game.
