Try out the Tanks 1.6 beta! — Tanks: The Crusades News

WARNING: Do NOT open levels you care about in this version. You will no longer be able to open them in the latest stable version (because the save format has changed), and they may be corrupted due to this version being unstable. If you wish to open levels you've already made, you should back them up first. You can do this by opening up the game, going to the "My levels" or "Crusades" section, hitting the folder icon (a new button added in this pre-release), and making a copy of everything inside to somewhere safe.

Hello everyone,

A new beta version of Tanks is available for you all to test out! This has a lot of the features I've been working on over the last year or so - mainly an entirely reworked bullet and item system that is much more customizable than that from before. You will get a lot more options like knockback and stun duration on bullets now, and previous bullet types can now be combined (you can now have a single bullet that is homing, artillery, stunning, and exploding!). There are also a few new things like the block bullet which places a block.

To play the beta, select the "Pre-release" beta from [Gear icon] -> Properties -> Betas.

Please report any bugs you may find, either as comments here or in the Tanks Discord.

Enjoy!
