Game Introduction

The first player controls a blue tank and the second player controls a yellow tank. The enemy tanks are colored red.

Game Play

You must navigate your tank through a minefield and destroy enemy tanks and mines to score points. Moving over glowing diamonds gives your tank super armor protection for limited periods of time. After you have destroyed all enemy tanks and mines, you must then face the Super Tank. This boss can only be destroyed by a direct hit on its nozzle. After you have destroyed it, the game starts over again.
