About

Tanks!

Features
Read full description

Tanks! is a miniature tabletop tank battle for iPhone. Twenty hand-built missions play out on a small wooden battlefield, where shells ricochet off steel walls, mines chew through cork, and every shot you fire can come back to find you. THE CAMPAIGN Twenty missions, each a hand-designed arena of steel walls, destructible cork and open holes. Nine enemy tank types arrive in turn, starting with a slow brown tank that sits and fires, and building to fast, heavily armed opponents that hunt you through the maze, plan ricochet shots off the walls, and sidestep the shells you send at them. CONTROLS BUILT FOR THUMBS Drive with the left thumb and aim with the right. Tap to fire a single shot or hold to keep firing. Prefer something more physical? Switch to tilt aim and steer the crosshair with the phone itself. Lay mines to blow open the cork and change the shape of the fight. PLAY WITH A FRIEND Team up over Game Center. Share a four-letter room code and you both drop into the same battle. No accounts to make, no servers to find, no setup. PLAYS ANYWHERE The solo campaign runs entirely on your device, so it works with no connection at all. No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Landscape orientation, iPhone only.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tanks! at none against Bubble Elf 2's 10. Tanks! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Bubble Elf 2's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
