webTanks

Bounce. Blast. Be the last tank standing.

A fast top-down tank battle right in your browser. Bank your shots off the walls, grab power-ups and outlast everyone. Free, no download, up to 16 players.

Rounds take a minute or two. Every bullet ricochets, so every shot is a trick shot, and every miss might come back for you.

Features

• Every shot bounces. Bullets ricochet off walls and obstacles. Hit enemies around corners, or watch your own shot come home.
• Last tank standing. A shrinking zone pushes everyone together. Survive longest, score kills, and hunt the leader for a bounty.
• Build your tank. Between rounds, swap cannon, ammo, armor and drive. Twin cannons, shotguns, sticky charges, hovercraft: every part has an upside and a catch.
• 22 power-ups. Shields, cloaking, mines, guided bullets, mirrors, EMPs, vampires … some help you, some mess with the enemy in front of you.
• Four seasons. Ice and deep snow, fog banks and rain, mud and leaf piles, tall grass and heat shimmer, hills and crosswind. The battlefield changes every round.
• Bots with character. No friends online? Fill the lobby with generals (Napoleon, Sun Tzu, Hannibal and more), each fighting his own way.
• Look the part. Earn reward points by playing and unlock 270+ cosmetics: paints, bullet trails, explosions, victory poses and 204 flags. Purely cosmetic, no pay to win, ever.
• Play with friends. Create a lobby, share the link, go. Or play head-to-head on one keyboard.

One arena, four seasons

• Spring: drifting fog banks to hide in, rain showers, hedges that swallow bullets, a brook to cross.
• Summer: sand that slows you, tall grass that hides you, heat shimmer that spoils your aim.
• Autumn: sticky mud, leaf piles that cover tanks and mines, puddles and gusts of wind.
• Winter: slide on ice, plough through snow, and blast a hole in the frozen lake under someone's tracks.

Spend points, or keep them?

The points you score are also what you shop with, and what wins the match. Heavy armor is slow, light armor is fragile, the charge cannon overheats. The top player carries a bounty, and every hit on them pays. A match runs several rounds, so comebacks happen.

Controls

• Drive: W A S D or arrow keys (the turret is fixed: aim by turning your tank)
• Fire: Space or Enter
• Power-up: E or Shift
• Two players, one keyboard: player 1 uses WASD + Space + E, player 2 uses the arrows + Enter + right Shift

No account needed; make one only if you want to keep your reward points. Create a lobby, share the link with friends or join an open lobby, add bots, and battle. You warm up while others join; the host starts the match.
