I hope that more people will enjoy it.
Past years show that I have no time to maintain it anyway. And it does not bring any significant income.
It was an interesting experience :)
Small update includes:
- screenshots using F12 key. Resulting files are located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Tanks\screenshots
- solved problem with game freeze when there are many user levels
Hi all!

Hi all!
New version of TANKS is released.
There are following small improvements:
- Last session is now stored and it is possible to continue playing from last non-completed level restoring player stats. But beware, starting new game and completing first level will overwrite save data. Let's see if this new feature works good enough
- Friendly fire setting in Options
- Possibility to control Pause and all menus using also second gamepad
- Small change in launching procedure to likely fix a rare issue when game starts without appearing on desktop/screen.
- Hopefully no new bugs added
Congratulations! New version released!
Changes:
- Level editor is now available
- Small improvements in visual and audio part
