The idea for this game is really strong lol and I think you implemented it perfectly. I do wish there was audio when turning but besides that, it great game.

If you have the time, please play and rate my game, thanks!

i REALLY liked this subbmission i love the idea behind it and you executed it great, good job!

Submitted

Neat idea!
Overall I liked the concept. Personally I would recommend having a "track moving" audio that plays when turning and moving and a separate "squeak audio" happen randomly... as it is now the squeak is annoying and happens too much. Some background music might have helped with that. Is there a win state? I feel like I killed all the enemies and that was it... no game over the end or anything of that sort.

Still pretty solid game.

Fun game, I enjoyed the mechanic of scrapping your enemies!

Would like to see it expanded with a few different weapons and animations. Also would really help with either some sort of turn indicator or timer to see when the enemy is going to attack.

I really like the scrap mechanic thats a lot of fun. 

Game is a bit easy and can get more in depth with the mechanics to make it better. 

Was fun to collect all the different weapons. 

Well done!

Definitely a fun game to play, even if it felt a bit easy. I like the idea of adding more weapons to your arsenal as you defeat your foes until you eventually become this unstoppable behemoth of a tank

Graphics are simplistic, which isn't a bad thing. I do wish there were some music in the game instead of hearing the tracks screeching as I roam the wasteland

Speaking of the tracks sound, I believe you might have turned the "Loop" boolean off in the audio source for the track sound effect. This makes the sound effect stop playing after a while

A good game overall with a great potential

Oh and btw, I found your little easter egg :P

This is great, the idea of using parts from enemies you defeat to become stronger is fantastic! The game has an FTL feel to it (one of my favourite games), but still feels unique and has room to become something bigger and fantastic.

Though I did get lost in the overworld... And I don't know where to go to progress.

Still, great game!

I believe in the tub of acid supremacy. All jokes aside, i really like the idea of taking the abilities of your foes (great minds think alike haha).
I would say the difficulty is a bit off though. I could just spam all of my weapons on the ennemies weapons and instantly break them. The enemy was a bit slow to react and i usually crushed them with a full health bar once i got a magnet to heal myself. But as someone who tried to do game balance in a really limited time in the past (and in this jam too), i know it's not an easy task and it's a hard challenge to pull that off.
A music track would have helped a lot with the atmosphere. Right now it's a bit empty, even for a wasteland haha

Overall it was still pretty fun to obliterate ennemy tanks as i was scavenging through their weapons just to get stronger and stronger.

Had loads of playing.

I'm not sure how to progress in your game. I came across another vehicle, but I don't know if I'm supposed to press a key or something else was suppose to trigger.

You can just drive into it and a fight will start

Submitted

But what are the controls? I drove in front of the enemy, and I'm not greeted with a new menu or shown what keys to push.

Submitted

Took a moment to realize how to play, but this game is VERY unique. Taking parts from enemies you destroy is awesome! It would be way cooler with music, but I really love the concept!

Submitted

Okay, interesting game. Weird in the first second since I was confused and couldn't get a good view since I couldn't fullscreen it...but I'm glad I stuck through to the combat section. THAT's a cool idea. Being able to change between tank slot, eat with its own feature.

I'm glad I stuck with it, because the concept is really fun.
