DK Battletanks
2021 Two-player tank game in a maze
A school project inspired by the browser game Tank Trouble. Two tanks fight in a maze on one keyboard, bullets bounce off the walls, and power-ups drop around the map.
The game
We made it as a school project, inspired by Tank Trouble, a browser game we played a lot. Each player picks a tank and drives it around the maze, one with WASD and Space and the other with the arrow keys and Numpad 0. Bullets bounce off the walls, so a shot can come around a corner, and you have to reload and pick up ammo drops to keep shooting. The bar at the bottom keeps track of health, ammo and kills.
Power-ups
Power-ups drop around the maze and change how your tank shoots until they run out:
- Big Bullet: a slower, larger bullet that does more damage.
- Shotgun: a spread of bullets at once.
- Wallbreaker: a shot that destroys the wall it hits, so you can open new paths.
- Minigun: a fast stream of small bullets.
