TankBricks

Defend your base. Destroy the enemy tanks. Do not let them reach the eagle. TankBricks is an old-school tank arcade: a grid of cells, pixel sprites, and short runs you understand in ten seconds and spend weeks getting good at. HOW IT PLAYS Every stage drops you into a field of brick, steel, water and trees. The enemies come in from the top and head straight for your eagle. Brick walls shoot away; steel does not, until you earn the upgrade. Water slows you down. Trees hide you. POWER-UPS Star to shoot faster and further. Helmet to be untouchable for a while. Shovel to armour your eagle in steel. Grenade to clear the screen. Clock to freeze everyone but you. CONTROLS On-screen D-pad or analog joystick, whichever you prefer. Or pair a Bluetooth controller — Xbox, DualSense, DualShock — and play it the way it was meant to be played. HIGH SCORES A top-ten table kept on your device, and a worldwide leaderboard in Game Center if you want to measure yourself against everyone else. FREE TO START Play the first stages without paying anything. If it grabs you, a single purchase unlocks the whole campaign and removes the ads. Not a subscription: you pay once.
