Pocket Tank
Publisher Description:
From BlitWise Productions :
If you like games such as Warheads SE and Worms Armageddon, you will have a blast with this game. Pocket Tanks is designed to be the fastest game of artillery you’ll ever play, with all the excitement of lobbing projectiles over a mound of dirt without the complicated details found in most artillery games. Select your angle and power, then fire a very unique arsenal of weapons at your opponent. Games are won based on points for good aiming. It is fun for the whole family.
Version 1.3 includes LAN Game support, for playing a game on two separate computers through a local area network.

Graphically, Pocket Tanks is nothing spectacular, but is feasible for the task at hand and is vivid enough but also small enough to run smoothly even on dinosaur computers like mine. Some decent color fade effects and animated fun with the font on the menus make nice little extras that are entertaining but become annoying when you’re pumped and rarin’ to actually play the game. When you get into battles, the mountains have a grassy look that couldn’t hide its 16-colors-ness even if it wanted to. Your tanks live up to the game’s title in terms of both size and detail, and if it’s cheesy explosion effects made by stringing together a bunch of thin colored lines you want, then this must be the game you’ve been looking for your whole life! Everything you ever saw in Windows Paint and little more infests the colors of this game, but it is well-designed and cleanly animated for a game that pulls the purse strings on the rainbow. The weapon icons are the most intricately detailed objects in the game, as you can see from their Worms-like bounciness and overt cartooning (as in the pictures of the Late Bloomer and the Homing Worm – a possible homage?). Pocket Tanks is graciously easy on the eyes though, and strikes a pitch-perfect chord between the worlds of serious video game war and playful video game war.
