Crank Tanks is a tank artillery game for the Playdate handheld game console. Featuring destructible terrain with falling dirt, a wide variety of ridiculously powerful weapons, a score-chasing Survival mode, custom games, hotseat multiplayer, bots, and even flying tanks, this is easily the best (even if by virtue of being the only) such artillery game for the Playdate.
Crank Tanks features:

  • 21 different weapons with varied effects
  • 2 kinds of shields
  • Jump jets
  • Teleporters
  • Air-dropped supply crates
  • Local high scores
  • Lots of scrolling maps complete with minimap
  • Six AI difficulty levels
  • Snarky enemies
  • A cool little tutorial
  • State of the art 1-bit graphics
  • Parallax scrolling
  • And much more!

And just listen to what people are saying about it:
“Is this your new game? It’s so tiny! How can you even see this?”  – The author’s mother
“I’m being quoted to introduce something, but I have no idea what it is and certainly don’t endorse it.”  – Randall Munroe, author of XKCD
