What players say

For someone who tried developing games using Construct2, I would like to say this game is absolutely amazing! Great controls, great graphics and effects, and fun for solo or local play, either way. It would be great if you could save the upgrades, but then again, it would not make any sense since you could easily get coins for upgrading your tanks. Hoping this game gets more updates in the future, like missions...

It's combat for the 2600k. Good solid action for one to four players huddling around your medium sized monitor screen to better recreate those retro times of you playing on a 13 inch tv grappling your atari controllers.

I like the game. But there is a bug that has been in the game since 2016 that make 4 player verses unplayable. It will say game over if player 1 dies first.
