It Tanks Two

A simple tower defense where you move tanks to take out some slugs. Tanks are doubled up at the top!

Introduction/Overview

In It Tanks Two, players control a  tank that controls a remote control tank on the other side of the map! This gives you double the firepower, you'll need it for these slugs!

Game Concept/Theme

The theme of the jam is "Takes Two to Tango," and in It Tanks Two, players must survive waves of enemies while managing limited space and cash.

Gameplay

Controls:

• Panning: Use WASD to pan around the map to have a look!
• Zooming: Use Q and E to zoom in and out to have a better view!
• Spawning: Click the hangar to open the shop. Choose what tank to buy. (Only one tank option at the moment!)
• Movement: Click the tank to select it and control the tank by right clicking control points to chain moves.
• Shooting: When a slug is in range, the tank will target and shoot it, doing some damage!
• Survive: Slugs get beefier as you go, make sure to keep killing them!

Challenges

There were some serious issues with the way I was storing and referencing the attributes on my ECS and it resulted in a pretty large overhaul of the framework during the jam. This improvement will be very beneficial for future jams and game projects!

Post-Jam Plans (Optional)

Let me know what you think of the game in general! I personally would like to move in a bit of a different direction with the game design of the project. Specifically I would prefer a more turn-based game that emphasizes more of the strategy than simply spamming tanks!
