simple to learn but fun to play.

I have to say the graphics are a bit basic, the gauges/meters are hard to read, and the enemy AI is a bit flaky

BUT

I enjoyed this immensely. Something where all the above were cast aside by good, fun, have another go gameplay.

If you can improve on the graphics etc.. I would say you had a winner on your hands. Add to it network play, pickups etc. and hours of fun could be had by all.

Good job!

Oh and dont spoil it by making it only possible to run on a top of the range PC. This is pick up and play fun for casual gamers too.

Thanks for the reply Geehawk.
Any ideas for better graphics? I do want to add smoke etc, once I figure out how to do it. Not sure how to improve walls and texture to the ground.

The gauges are standard bar gauges, I need to label them, but you found it hard to read, I"m surprised.
I have plans for the AI,

I also got it to work over a network very well, but I expect that getting it to work over the internet with lag, is a different story.

try some of these, they are GPL

Looks a little like the tank game from the new BlitzMAx book from Sloan Kelly (Not saying is is!)
