Defend The Tank
Side-on defence game where you place and rotate riflemen, gunners and mechanics on a tank and hold off waves of enemies.
Defend the Tank is a wave defence game with a heavy metal soundtrack, played entirely with the mouse. Your tank does not move. Instead you drag soldiers onto it and rotate them to face whichever direction the next attack is coming from, since a gunner pointed the wrong way is doing nothing at all.
Soldier types unlock as you go: plain infantry, machine gunners, rocket men and mechanics, who repair the hull mid-fight rather than shooting. Coins from each cleared wave go into tank upgrades and more units. The waves keep coming indefinitely, so the run ends when the tank does, and the real decision is always how much of your roster to give up to repairs.
Controls
Mouse only: drag soldiers onto the tank, click to rotate them and collect coins
Tips
- Rotate before the wave lands, not after. A soldier facing away from the attack contributes nothing.
- Keep at least one mechanic free at all times. Repairs matter more than one extra rifle on the roof.
- Spend early coins on the tank itself. Losing the hull ends the run no matter how good your soldiers are.
