User reviews

Best quick game

Best quick game but one player discovered a way to cheat and get 999 points for every move and relocate to any spot on the map. No response when I emailed about this issue.

Veteran!

I’ve been playing this game since computer lab in middle school sometime in the very early 2000s. Absolutely love this game and share with everybody that I can so I can have 1on1 matches. So glad it’s still available.

Need new weapons packs

Great game but needs new weapons packs for us loyalists

Very cool tank game

I like that this is a game where math and physics work together and there’s no battle pass, no skins, and no pay to win. It’s really chill and fun, and like other people said, chat would be pretty nice
