Calling all Worms Armageddon fans! Instead of worms, you get to deal with a cooler machine… Tanks! This is a slightly mathematical game that requires you to adjust angles and power gauges before you launch attacks on your opponent! Developed by BlitWise Productions, LLC, this cute tanks game is a light-hearted mini strategy game that can be played with the computer (1v1), or your friend (1v1), and even online like any other 2 player unblocked games!
Calibrate your moves and don’t miss a beat as you send bullets and blasts flying across the terrain! Choose from a wide selection of guns like the Worm, Jackhammer, Heatseeker, Cruiser, Drillers, Skipper and many more. Attack your opponent once you’ve located the sweet spot for the angle and power gauge for the perfect shot!
Join the tank army and destroy the opponent(s) before they destroy you…
Here are some of the game features we love!
Multiple Game Modes for Maximum Fun
There are many game modes for you to try this game out: One Player mode – which means you play against the computer in a 1v1 showdown, Two Player mode – you and a friend can take turns to annihilate each other on the same computer in a friendly 1v1 battle (it will get intense, don’t say we didn’t warn you), WiFi Lobby + Play Online – Battle real-time with players all over the world who are online already! Finally, we have Target Practice Mode. Unsure about what the combinations of angles and power gauges during gameplay? Fret not, you get a safe target practice place here where you can practice all the moves before jumping into a battle with someone else!
Customize Your Name, Tank, and Difficulty Level
You can get to choose the color of the tank you want, key in a preferred gaming name, adjust your game difficulty level, then select your weapons! You’ve got over 20 weapons and more to choose from. There are also 5+ colors for you to “paint” your tank with! Select the difficulty level that’s best suited to your level of playing. You don’t have to battle high-level opponents on the computer generated one because you can choose which difficulty level is best for you. Don’t feel so confident? It’s ok, you can play level 1 – 2 or 3.
Enjoy Simple Terrain and Graphics
Pocket Tanks Play Free Online
The gameplay is relatively simple, and straightforward. Get your missiles over the terrain to land on the tank at the other side as accurately as you can. You won’t have much trouble with that, except for when some terrains have strange structures that stick out of the ground awkwardly tall and blocks your missile projectile. Try to demolish your opponent in as few moves as possible, that means, high damage each round! Make each attack shot count. You can even come up with an underground attack scheme with underground related weapons and bombs.
Wide Weapon Cache
There’s a large selection of weapons, over 100+ for you to choose from… choose the ones you’re most comfortable with (and of course, land good damage). There are other weapons that help to do other uncommon things, like attacking from below, or removing terrain pieces etc. See the landscape and plan your moves properly! There’s no time limit, so you can take your time to adjust the angle and power gauge, but don’t keep your opponent waiting too long, or they might just leave the game! XD
Tips, tricks, cheats, and other news
Set Up a Foolproof Defense
Defense can be king. When you bury yourself 10 feet under, you practically have a safe place to defend yourself against all enemy attacks. How do you do it? First, point your target angle to 270 degrees. Make sure your weapon is “Dirt Mover”, then fuel your power gauge to 100 power points. Fire! This should result in you being at the bottom of a “well”. You’re perpetually creating a trench/bunker for your tank to snugly settled in.
What if I don’t want to defend, but be on the offensive?
After safely “burying” yourself underground, activate your Groundhog weapon, which is a great underground weapon that moves in a straight line when you launch it. So basically, unless your enemy has the same tactic, you are avoiding all attacks by your enemy and are able to attack them while being protected! Homing worm, Cauldron, and a few others are great attacks to use when underground.
What if I don’t wanna be underground?
Above ground, there are so many different types of weapons you can use. Hail Storm, Ant Farm. We feel that combos, or combinations, are great. Here are some of the more powerful attack weapons that we feel would wipe out your opponent fast.
- Porcupine (Close range, only though)
- Fire in the Hole (Buries your opponent under layers of dirt, lets you earn higher points and also damages your opponent badly)
- Firefly
- Spinner (Repeated damage on opponent)
- Supernova (Exploding star)
- Particle Bomb
- Golden Bullet
- Chaos Grenade

What’s New
Bug fixes.
This update brings our Online functions from a third party Backend as a Service supported framework to a BlitWise maintained AWS hosted server infrastructure. This should provide greater flexibility in the future, and players should not see any disruption in game play or functionality. However, some errors may occur with a change of this magnitude. We thank you for your patience and ask that you report any bugs, issues, or errors to tech support using the in game support button.
All-Time Favorite Game!!!
I literally play this game all day. I love turn-based games that have selections. I've played the PC version with all the weapons. Mobile is the best because I can play anywhere. I battle at least ten people a day and practice my winning strategy time after time. My cons: AI never wins, but never misses lol. Its true, second player is always at a disadvantage with their position. The spinner glitch is lame to lose by - please fix. Request: we should be able to create stages/weapon selections. We definitely need chat during play feature. The game play is casual and would be fun to coach friends some tips during play. Please can we have a record of our matches? How about teams i.e. more tanks like 4 player game. Thank you Blitwise!!!!!!!!!
Update: I thought there was a real update..sigh.
I'm writing this review for the deluxe version
I have purchased the deluxe version and it I'd definitely worth it this game deserves much more attention. So simple but yet so complex. This game also has allot of potential, like possibly in the deluxe version you could have a way to design new landscapes to battle on that could be allot larger and longer and deeper and maybe modes where you have unlimited jump packs and diggers maybe idk. Just an idea but bigger and deeper would definitely be amazing. And also live action team battles both for online and single player. Just some ideas that hopefully get attention. Either way I love this game and it is the best ????
Dec 2017 update!
![Pocket Pocket](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZqCTTgaY_F0/maxresdefault.jpg)
Good to see this A+ game still has someone working on it! Bought all the weapon packs because they were so cheap!
I love the battle music and would loooove to see more songs like that in future updates, and also maybe some options to change the color of the background gradient and terrain color perhaps??
And while I'm throwing random ideas out, new terrain options like perhaps water or something might be cool, i wanna dig a tunnel and dump a lake on my opponent!
Keep up the great work ???

Gameplay[edit]
The point of Pocket Tanks, often abbreviated as PTanks or simply as PT, is to use various weapons to attack the other player's tank. Each hit scores a certain number of points, which varies based on the weapon and proximity. At the end of 10 volleys, the player with the highest points wins.
The game features a fully destructible environment, which allows player to put themselves on pedestals, in tunnels, or bunkers, allowing for the probability of strategic play. Pocket Tanks supports weapon expansion packs, players can have up to 320 different weapons in total. Network play was made available in the v1.3 release.
Expansion packs[edit]
There are 'weapon packs' available which give the player more weapon choices during gameplay. However, these expansion packs are only available to those who own Pocket Tanks Deluxe. For the PC version, there are 30 Expansion Packs available to download on the web page. All packs that include 5 weapons are free, while those with 15 have to be purchased (mobile versions only). There are 320 weapons in total, including 30 from the original game and 290 from the Deluxe Version.
Development history[edit]
Michael P. Welch from Blitwise Productions created Amiga games before he started developing PC games such as Super DX-Ball and Neon Wars. Welch developed Pocket Tanks as remake/sequel of the Amiga game Scorched Tanks and extended the game-play with modified physics, dozens of new weapons, and the ability to move the tank. The game's soundtrack was created by Eliran Ben Ishai as Impulse TrackerModule file.[1] The first version of Pocket Tanks was released in 2001.
Version 1.3 was released in November 2007. It contains bug fixes, LAN and IP support.
A Collector's Edition of Pocket Tanks was released on November 16, 2007. It contains the first 14 expansion packs and the Deluxe version of Pocket Tanks. The CD and case comes with special art, and it is cheaper to buy the expansion packs through the Collector's Edition, but other than that there are no differences between the Deluxe and Collector's Edition.
Version 1.6 is currently the most recent desktop release and it includes more expansion packs to obtain. This version is available for MacOS and the Windows Desktop.
On October 26, 2001 the first version of pocket tanks was released after a beta. This version continued to be updated, adding features like network support and more weapons.
On June 1, 2008 pocket tanks became available for MacOS. (OS X)
On April 15, 2009 pocket tanks was released on iPhone. This version included a new touch interface and 35 weapons to enjoy for free. The iOS version continues to be updated along with other mobile versions that were released later.

On January 9, 2013, Blitwise announced the availability of Pocket Tanks on the Windows Store. Users with desktops, laptops, and tablets running Windows 8 or Windows RT can now download the game from the Windows Store.[3]
