Reviews for The Tank Builder - PE

[Greenrogue99]

Great game!!!!!!

But here are some ideas to inprove it even more!!
1. Custimiation of armor, u get to choose thickness, type, and color, dosen't improve your health, but it wares away as enimies hit it.

2. max damage increce to 300.

3. ability to spawn or start with drones, or small tanks on your side,
it would be nice if these were also customise-able!!

4. mabey some upgrades only avaibale later on.

5.mabey some more premade melee wepons, as well as ranged wepons.

6. mabey a way to change the size of ur tank?

7. reflective armor? (wares down as other armor does so it dosen't ruin game)

8. Also if you add reflective armor, make it so your wepons can't intercet with it.

And thats all i could think of at the moment!!
This game was very fun due to it's "deap" custizmation!

Can't wait for final edition!

Okay, so generally I only look at movies on Newgrounds. And when I play games, I never review them unless they're really horrendous and I want to be a jerk to the author. But since this game has been open in a tab on my laptop for a couple days, and since every minute of spare time I have I spend playing it (yes, it takes precedence over even Youtube) I had to have a say. I'm not sure exactly what it is about this game that draws me in, but I'll try to go over most things.
1: Ridiculous customizable features!
So, I'm not the kind of person to necessarily want these. In Oblivion, I change the race, face, and hair color instead of going over nose width and stuff. The point is that I'd usually rather play the game itself than fiddle with internal features. In this game, it's necessary to switch up weapons and skills on your tank. You can also build your own weapons, which I used to build a high-powered green cannon code-named "AWESOMESAUCE." I found this to be a rewarding addition to my tank. I actually enjoyed adding stuff on almost as much as...
2: Gameplay!
So, in this game you move your tank around and shoot other tanks. Occasionally one of two powerups will drop; health and X2 damage. You get bounties on most enemy tanks and a final monetary reward at the end of each level, with which you build up your tank more. Deceptively simple; endlessly addictive. You found a great formula and by keeping it simple, it sticks to the popular "easy to learn, impossible to master" formula-theory-thing.
3: Replayability!
I considered naming this section 2-subsection-A, but that's kind of overkill. Anyway, one word that comes to mind when thinking of the simple strategy-action style is "repetitive." And it is, but for me that wasn't really a turn off. It's as fun on level 20 as it is on level 2.
4: BAD STUFF (OH NO)
To make it a useful review, I gotta say any problems I found. Mothers, cover your children's ears. There was a major issue with lag even with low quality, but this may have been my laptop's fault. There were some minor bugs like the one mentioned below, where the tank moves continuously in one direction until you shoot. My biggest issue was the fact that when I backed to the sub-main-menu of "SELECT A SLOT" it made it impossible to reenter my account, thus stranding it at level twentysomething and forcing me to start a new one called "Radioface." This will hopefully be fixed in the final version.
5: Conclusion-section?
Oh, grammar. So, this game rocks and I really want you to make the next version so I can annoy my parents some more. It's one of my favorite flash games of all time. You're totally rad! Buy yourself a pizza!
