About

Neon Tank Brigade

Features
Read full description

Neon Tank Brigade is a 3D arcade game about defending a base you cannot afford to lose. You drive one tank through a brick maze. Enemy tanks come in waves from the top of the board, and they are not only hunting you — they are hunting the eagle behind you. Lose your last life and the run ends. Lose the eagle and the run ends immediately, no matter how well you were doing. Walls chip rather than vanish. Brick breaks a quarter-tile at a time, so every shot carves a slightly different corridor and the stage you finish in is one you made. Steel holds until you have earned the gun that cracks it. MODES • Arcade — 40 handcrafted stages. • Roguelite — pick a perk between stages and see how far one run goes. • 1P + Wingman — an AI partner who can be given one of your own lives. • Online co-op and versus — a private 4-letter room code, or Quick Match against whoever is waiting. • Daily — one seeded run, the same board for everyone that day. • Weekly — a rotating twist that changes how a run plays. • Garage — earn and equip a different chassis. CONTROLS • Touch — a thumbstick and a fire pad, sized for a real thumb and laid out clear of the notch and the home indicator. • Controller — any Bluetooth gamepad. Left stick or D-pad to drive, A or right trigger to fire. • Local two-player with a controller or keyboard attached. CAMERAS A top-down board view that shows the whole stage, a chase camera that rides behind the turret, and a first-person punch-in on the kill. Chosen before the run and changed whenever you like. PLAYS OFFLINE Every stage and every mode except the online rooms works with no connection at all. Nothing loads from a server while you play. No ads. No accounts. No in-app purchases. No cross-app tracking. Built by Emmanuel Dadem with React Three Fiber and WebGL, alongside the rest of the RetroPixel3D studio.
