Tanks.io
Drive a neon tank through a glowing arena, blast shapes for XP, spend level-up points on eight stats and evolve into twelve tank classes while fighting rival tanks and a roaming Guardian boss.
Tanks.io is a top-down tank shooter io game set in a glowing neon arena. Yellow squares, pink triangles and violet pentagons drift across the grid, and every one you destroy feeds you XP. Each level gives you a stat point to put into health regen, max health, body damage, bullet speed, penetration, bullet damage, reload or movement speed, so no two runs build the same tank.
At level 10 you choose an evolution: Twin, Sniper, Machine Gun or Flank Guard. At level 20 each branch splits again into classes such as Triple Shot, Quad Tank, Assassin, Hunter, Destroyer, Sprayer, Tri-Angle and Twin Flank. Fourteen named bot tanks share the arena. Some farm quietly and only fight back when shot, others hunt for kills, and all of them level up, spend points and evolve just like you. Newcomers respawn throughout the run, a pentagon nest in the middle of the map pays out big XP, a rare Alpha Pentagon appears later on, and after a few minutes a heavily armed Guardian boss joins the fight with a 5000 XP bounty.
Your score is the total XP you earn before your tank is destroyed, and every run adds account XP that unlocks new tank colors and perks. Tip: spend early points on reload and bullet damage, farm squares and triangles first, and retreat to regenerate rather than trading hits with higher-level tanks.
How to play
Move your tank and shoot shapes to earn XP. Each level gives one stat point to spend on eight upgrades. At level 10 and level 20 pick an evolution to get new guns. Destroy rival tanks for a large XP bonus, but avoid stronger tanks and the Guardian boss. Your score is the XP you collect before your tank is destroyed.
