Tank Duel

🎮 About This Game

Tank Duel is a top-down artillery duel where the walls are weapons: every shell ricochets off the arena border and the cover blocks up to two times, so the deadliest shots are the ones that arrive from a direction nobody was facing. Two tanks, three concrete blocks for cover, five rounds to win. Each tank can keep at most three shells in the air with a short reload between shots, which makes ammunition discipline a real skill — an empty chamber at the wrong moment is how most rounds end. And the bounces don't care who fired: after a brief grace period, your own ricochet can absolutely come back and destroy you. Solo mode's CPU scales from a scattershot Easy gunner to a Hard bot with near-perfect aim that flanks around cover when it loses sight of you. In 2-player, both tank commanders share one keyboard.

🎯 How to Play

Turn your tank with ← and →, drive forward with ↑ and reverse (slower) with ↓, and fire with Space (in 2-player, Player 1 drives with WASD and fires with Space; Player 2 uses the Arrow Keys and fires with /). Shells travel fast, bounce off walls and cover blocks up to two times, then disappear. You can have three shells alive at once, with a short reload between shots — the white ring around your tank shows the reload progress. One hit destroys a tank and ends the round; first to 5 round wins takes the match. P pauses, R restarts the match, Esc returns to the menu.

💡 Tips & Strategy

• ▸The bank shot is the whole game. A shell fired at a wall arrives from an angle your rival isn't watching — aim at surfaces, not at tanks.
• ▸Don't spam all three shells. An empty magazine during their push is a lost round; keep one shell in reserve and watch your reload ring.
• ▸Your own ricochet can kill you. After firing at a nearby wall, move off your firing line — chasing your own bullet is a classic self-elimination.
• ▸Reverse is slower than forward. When a shell is incoming, turning and driving away beats backing up almost every time.
• ▸Use the cover blocks to reload in peace, but don't linger: when the CPU loses line of sight it starts flanking around your block, so relocate before it rounds the corner.
• ▸Mid-range is king. Point blank, both of you land everything; long range, nobody does. Fight at the distance where your aim is better than theirs.
