Can you believe it? It's been a year since the release of Ballistic Tanks and I am very excited. VERY, VERY EXCITED!! I still couldn't believe that I was able to release a game on Steam, let alone, keep it alive for a year as a first time solo developer.
SO THANK YOU ALL! I am really thankful to everyone who has supported Ballistic Tanks. Thank you for being patient by putting up with all the game breaking bugs. Thank you for providing helpful feedback. And most importantly, thank you so much for simply enjoying the game.
ARCADE MODE
- LONGER ARCADE MODE - The original 15 rounds of endless destruction wasn't enough right? That's why I'm adding 10 more brutal rounds that test your skill and your tolerance for screenshake.
- 6 NEW ENEMY TYPES - This more than doubles the number of enemy types that are currently in the game and adds a lot more variety in the combat.
- Minelayer - Moves really fast around the map dropping deadly mines. Be extra careful when you destroy it though, it'll explode after a short delay and release a cluster of bullets that fire in all directions.
- Trishot - An upgraded version of the basic tank. Though don't let your guard down, it'll be trickier to dodge their shots. You'll have to learn to use your own shots to try and deflect theirs.
- V4 Rocket - These are one of the most destructive enemies in the game, its range rivals that of the railgun. One big difference it that it'll target a huge area of the map near you and you'll have to avoid it at all costs else you get caught in the huge explosion.
- Hovertank - The fastest enemy in the game with slow moving burst fire shots, you'll have to be cautious or else it'll overwhelm you if you don't take them out quick.
- Cloak Generator - One of the more surprising enemies in the game. All other tanks that are within its cloaking field will be nearly invisible. If you aren't paying close attention, you'll probably miss the 3 enemies that are closing in.
- Chopper - The only fliers in the game and they'll constantly harass you from above. They travel really fast in your direction while dropping bombs, you're going to have to move out of the way fast, or take it down before it reaches you.
- Minelayer - Moves really fast around the map dropping deadly mines. Be extra careful when you destroy it though, it'll explode after a short delay and release a cluster of bullets that fire in all directions.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
- 4 NEW TANK UNLOCKS - These new tanks will be the hardest to unlock, only because they are so unique.
- MAP CHANGES - The map has been optimized with more destructible walls. With the more chaotic arcade mode, you're going to need to clear the map a bit more for that extra room.
- DESTRUCTION PARTICLES - There are a ton more particles that will be flying around in screen. If this causes some issues with your machine, you are able to turn this off in the settings menu.
