## What is Battle Tank Pro?

Defend your base. Destroy the enemy. Battle Tank is the classic 8-bit tank battle, rebuilt for modern iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.

Eighty stages stand between you and victory: the 20 classic stages, then six chapters of wide new battlefields across open field, river, forest, ice, steel maze and the final front. Each stage sends twenty enemy tanks at your eagle: fast scouts, heavy armour, and the red flashing tanks that drop power-ups. Brick crumbles under fire, steel needs a fully upgraded cannon, water blocks your tracks, ice sends you sliding, and the forest hides everyone.

FEATURES

• 80 stages: 20 classics plus 60 wide battlefields in 6 chapters
• EASY, NORMAL or HARD, with a score multiplier for each
• Up to 3 stars per stage: clear it, keep every life, beat the par time
• SURVIVAL: endless enemy waves and their own leaderboard
• CONSTRUCTION: paint brick, steel, forest, water and ice, save 10 maps and play them
• SELECT STAGE: replay any stage you have reached
• Six power-ups: extra tank, star upgrade, shield, timer freeze, base repair and the mine that clears the field
• Upgrade your tank three times: faster shells, then steel-piercing fire
• Choose your tank colour and right- or left-handed controls
• Pause and save at any point, then continue later
• Game Center leaderboards and 9 achievements
• Plays offline, full-screen landscape on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo
• One purchase removes all ads

Simple to pick up, hard to finish. How far can you defend the eagle?

### 5/5 — Good

*2014-03-02, version 1.0*

Very good

### 1/5 — Very awkward controls

*2014-02-01*

I really wanted to like this game but the stupid ad is on the left side of the screen just enough to cover a part of the directional pad.  The shooting control is so small that you have such a small area to touch for the darn tank to shoot, before you know it, you're a few mm away from the shooting control---then you're dead.  Couldn't find setting control...so it must not have any.  I wonder if the developers even tried to play this game before they released this game.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2013-12-30*

Nice game
