While idly cruising through the app store I came across a game called Tank Hero. I downloaded the free “lite” version to give it a try, the only difference being the number of levels offered. The free version gives you fifteen levels to battle through.
Tank Hero has the feel of an old school arcade action game. A little joystick is mapped in one corner of the touchscreen to control your movement and your little tank shoots at any point on the screen that you tap. The shots travel just a bit faster than the mobs, and bounce once off of the walls. Each level puts the player into a small arena with enemy tanks; if you win then they have the option to advance to the next level. The levels have walls that are designed to encourage tankers to bounce their shots in interesting ways rather than just running and gunning. As you move up, there are more barriers and more types of enemies to fight, so the game does actually get pretty challenging.
The game isn’t too much fun by itself, but the scoring system is its saving grace. At the end of each level you are awarded a score based on accuracy, kills, and remaining health. Certain amounts of points earn you medals, which do nothing but show your mastery of that particular level. This seems silly at first, but it gave the game an impressive amount of replay value. I beat it in twenty minutes, but spent a few extra hours trying to earn gold medals. Overall I’d say it wasn’t a waste of my time, but I’m glad I didn’t shell out for the full version.
