Tankd
Angle, power, wind. One shot to end the argument.
What it is
An artillery duel with Scorched Earth as its north star, developed as a game in its own right. Up to four tanks, one deformable landscape and a wind reading you will learn to hate. Pick your angle, pick your power, and watch the terrain disappear a crater at a time.
- Angle and power aiming with a live wind reading
- Destructible terrain that changes every exchange
- A weapon inventory bought between rounds
- Two to four tanks: friends at the screen, computer opponents, or both
- Three computer difficulties, with a score multiplier for the tougher ones
- First to two rounds, with cash carried between them

Inspired by
The original.

- Terrain that takes the damage and changes the next shot
- A shop between rounds, paid for out of what the last one won
- Computer opponents that range from harmless to thoroughly unsporting
Scorched Earth ran to dozens of weapons and ten tanks at once, which is a lot of turns to sit through. Tankd keeps it to four tanks and a short inventory you can hold in your head, and hangs achievements and a league table off the result.
