Thought the controls were really finnicky when playing BUT soon figured out that you aim the tank by drawing a direction on the road in front of it and not on it, got confused by the tutorial. Once I figured that out though I found it quite fun, liked the character art too. Gameplay could have done with a little more variety, but overall good job!

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it ☺️

Super unique idea! The controls are really cool once you get used to them, I've never seen a control scheme like this. I only wish there was some difficulty progression as I did get a little bored after a while. Really fun game though :)

Developer

Agreed! I spent some time fiddling with difficulty ramping up but couldn’t get the balance right. Like if you don’t get an xp upgrade soon enough suddenly it’s impossible, stuff like that. I also tried to make Frank move faster the long it went on which maybe has some potential.

Thanks for playing, I’m glad you liked the unconventional control scheme :)

cool idea! something that you could add if you decide to work on it further is a slow time mode tin order to better plan things out

Developer

Good idea! I also played with letting the player stop whenever they wanted, or automatically at each “segment”. Something to consider!

Thanks for playing :)
