I like the concept, though I'd be curious to try a version with the tank controls reversed so that up/down rotates and left/right moves, which I think would make it a bit easier to try to hit the balls while moving. Had a great time as-is though!

Hmmm, interesting suggestion! The controls do seem to be a sticking point for some based on the comments. I'm not sure if I misunderstood your idea but I tried it just now and my brain can't handle it haha. But I guess this is how the current controls feel for others, so I totally get it. I am curious if a gamepad and twin-stick controls would be fun - an experiment for another day/jam :)
