Pocket tanks deluxe Pc#
Welch, the developer of Pocket Tanks, has released new weapons for the PC and Mac versions of the game in free 5 weapon packs and paid 15 weapon packs. I've contacted Welch and he said downloadable expansion packs are planned after iPhone OS 3.0 is released, which will allow users to make in app purchases. If you grow to love the game as I have, you'll happily sink more money into the game for more weapons. You can play against the computer (with adjustable difficulty) or pass and play with a friend. I've played Pocket Tanks with my friends as far back as 2002 and, lucky enough, I still have all those same friends. I only mention this because it was extremely satisfying to fire up Pocket Tanks and begin playing the same game we played seven years ago and have it still feel exactly the same. The best thing about Pocket Tanks, and why I've come back to it again and again, is that it's the perfect blend of skill and luck. You can pick the right weapons and use them in the wrong order or use them in the right order but just not have strong enough weapons. You can pick them yourself, which requires skill and time, or let it go randomly for a quick game with more luck.

POCKET TANKS DELUXE VERSION HOW TOĪnyone can pick up Pocket Tanks, figure out how to aim and fire in a matter of seconds and have a reasonable chance of winning. Playing the game is as simple as choosing which of your weapons you want to fire, selecting the angle and the power and then hitting fire. If you get buried all your hard earned points will disappear as you're forced to fire the remaining weapons into the dirt. I've also seen many games won with a single lucky shot.
There are a nice but small set of options which let you alter things like the type of terrain you're playing on and the strength of wind in the game. More importantly, you can also turn off certain weapons so only the ones you like come up as you play. While you can also do target practice, which lets you test out all the different weapons, turning off some weapons can also help you get used to playing with a particular subset. After all, 105 weapons is a lot to handle. The most direct competition for Pocket Tanks is iShoot, one of the most well known iPhone games. IShoot has been all over the most downloaded lists for months while Pocket Tanks just made it into the store two weeks ago.
People who don't know the history behind these games might accuse Pocket Tanks of copying iShoot when, in fact, Welch said he's been getting emails since iShoot debuted asking if he knew someone cloned his game. In fact, both games share a common ancestor in Scorched Earth, an artillery game dating back to the early '90s. IShoot and Pocket Tanks differ widely when it comes to actual gameplay. With iShoot you can play up to four people over wifi while trying to survive the longest. With Pocket Tanks it's a head-to head deathmatch where you try to get the most points. The biggest missing component from Pocket Tanks is wifi multiplayer support, an option that is available with the desktop version of the game.Įven though you can edit and add your own weapons in iShoot the app can't touch the number of ways to decimate your enemy in Pocket Tanks Deluxe. It's an excellent game and an excellent port. For example, you can pinch and zoom your way into the battlefield to see everything up close and, when you fire the weapon, the screen follows as the ammunition moves across the map.
