This is such a surprisingly fun experience, and the editor is so remarkably good, great game, and for free!

Fun game, especially with friends. The solo levels to get hard very fast. For anyone that doesnt know, its a minigame from Wii Play.

Close enough, welcome back Wii Play Tanks.
This game is actually very difficult, you will ragequit. You have been warned.

well-made recreation of the classic wii game, sometimes the camera trips me up though

Tanks doesn't feel as much like a game as it is like a library for making top-down shooter games. I became friend with the dev on discord and he's really into perfecting everything, which in this case means factoring every special tank into features and mechanisms that can be mixed and matched in the level editor (and also just the best april fools ideas ever). As of May '26 / v1.6.2 one thing I'd like to see added in the future are default builds for the built-in crusades (level packs) and also combinatoric builds where instead of purchasing bundles of skills in a playthrough it's individual skills that can be equipped and swapped

Played with a few friends including one on the opposite side of the world in Japan and it kept disconnecting. So we tried the old Minecraft Hamachi LAN trick and it worked pretty well with only some disconnections occasionally. So that's a good trick if anyone needs it.
I absolutely love how much content is shoved into this game and how much of a passion project it is recreating Wii Tanks. The degree of customization puts bigger games by real studios to shame.
It could use some more polish (like a textured floor/walls, better crosshair like original) and the Versus procedural level generator could use some large improvement but I find it hard to complain when the game is already such a passion project for free full of features like text chat and it's so fun.
It may not have the iconic Wii Tanks music but the game scratches that itch of playing Wii Tanks on PC pretty well.

The game is so complete, and for a free game this is amasing. 11/10 Would recomend.
