Hi everyone! One year ago, I released the full version of Racing Tanks here on Steam. It was a really emotional moment for me, as not only I finally finished the game that I've been working for years at that time and could consider myself a true Game Developer, but also because I was on a really dark but important time in my life, so the release of this game meant a lot to me at that moment. A lot has happened in a year, so to celebrate this special day, not only the game is going to be on discount for a week (perfect to gift to your friends!), but also I added two new game modes!

• Key: Find the Key scattered in the map, and use it to reach the goal, but if your opponent grabbed it before you, destroy him so they can grab de Key!
• Tower: There's an evil control tower in the map, preventing anyone to access the goal. Team up with your rival to destroy this tower! But don't forget that you're still enemies!

• Now your character will show an icon at the start of the round, so you won't have to be searching for it as much!
• Now the Race mode will have the goal locked for 5 seconds at the beginning of the round, so if the goal was placed right in front of your enemy, you still have time to turn the tables!
• Some of the Power Ups now show its icon and time left right on your tank! It was hard to tell if your enemy had a shield right away if you weren't looking at their stats.
• Other minor visual improvements (now bullets have an impact effect).
• Bug Fixes (of course there's always bugs)

Hi everyone, this is an unplanned update, here are the details and the reason why:

Changes and fixes:



• Added the Power Ups mechanic. If enabled, Wooden Boxes will spawn in the map with different icons, each representing a different power up.
• Laser: You'll be equipped with a laser. When equipped, you'll shoot a laser that can go through all obstacles, causing small but really fast damage.
• Bombs: A random amount of bombs will appear randomly across the map.
• Speed: You'll gain a speed bonus for 5 seconds.
• Metal Walls: Random wooden walls around the map will be replaced with their metal counterpart. These walls can not be broken with bombs.
• Shield: You'll be invulnerable to any kind of attacks for 5 seconds.
• Instant healing: You'll regain all of your HP, even if normal healing is disabled. Handy!
• Land mines: A random amount of land mines will appear randomly across the map. These mines will activate after 3 seconds, after that, any kind of movement or violent shaking will trigger them, exploding and damaging everything around them.
• Bullet bomb: Your next bullet will be a small bomb. It'll explode upon impact. Handy for breaking walls faster.
• Lock: The goal will be locked for a certain amount of time. During this time, you won't be able to win by reaching the goal.
• Random: A random amount of the Power Ups of the above will be chosen. The most chaotic of all.
• Changed the graphical assets and layout of the Main Menu to a simpler one. Icons representing the actions of the button were added to remove the big buttons.
• Tweaked some aspects of the AI to make it slightly more advanced with the navigation, along with special behaviour with some power ups.
• Fixed minor visual bugs.

The reason why:

This is a small update, which focus in fixing some small bugs and adjusting some mechanics:

• Fixed a bug in which when starting the game for the first time, you get shown a blank screen instead of the controls screen.
• Adjusted some mechanics in the Race Game Mode, so now the gameplay is more fair by always placing the goal in the centre of the map and the players on the side of it, instead of the completely random system used before, which used to be really unfair by placing one of the players next to the goal while the other player was in the next side of the map or trapped.
• Fixed smaller bugs
