The Tank Game is a top down arena shooter featuring a diverse set of items (abilities and weapons) each with their own unique uses and properties.
Quick thinking and planning are greatly rewarded. Figuring out how to use the items you are currently holding in order to turn a situation in your favor will be far more important than just having a steady aim.
Much like the quake and unreal games of old all items spawn periodically on the map rather than simply being given to you on spawning. You must therefore control and efficiently utilize these resources while also attempting to deny them to your opponents in order to prevail.
The game has a strong emphasis on multiplayer and you can play with up to 5 friends on one PC in local multiplayer or CO-OP vs AI bots. Online and LAN play for more players is also supported.

Any plans to port to Linux?
Yup, I want to switch from XNA to MonoGame at some point in which case I will definitely try and support a Linux version! I'm afraid I couldn't really give much of a time frame though as I'm only working on the game in free time so development can be quite stop and start.
you should probably add a link to you greenlight page, so once its done it can be put on steam. Can't wait to try it, just downloaded it.
You can't put links in a game's summary I'm afraid so I put the greenlight page under the official page for now. Hope you enjoy the game!
Looks good. Extra love for using XNA!
I am also making games with XNA and hope to upload some content soon.
Good luck with your project!
Cheers! good luck to you too.
On the 17th SP arena when you go through a portal it puts you on the left side on the bottom portal and right side on the top portal causing your tank to re-enter the portal.
Ah yes sorry about that. I hope to put out another patch next week I'll update the map and fix it in that.
I have also noticed high level bots teleporting across the map on their own. Is this part of their difficulty?
NM, figured out you can teleport to mines. Really weird.
