How does the ricochet mechanic work exactly?

Shells reflect off indestructible walls at the same angle they hit — like light off a mirror. Destructible walls absorb the shot instead.

Can I play against another player locally?

Yes — the game supports two-player mode on the same keyboard using split controls.

Do destroyed walls come back?

No — once a wall section is broken, it stays broken for the rest of the match.

Tanks 2D: Tank Wars

Action

Tanks 2D: Tank Wars is a top-down arena shooter where two tanks battle across a grid of destructible walls. The feature that sets it apart from other tank games is the ricochet mechanic — shells bounce off indestructible walls, so indirect shots are often more effective than direct ones.

You move with WASD or arrow keys and aim with the mouse. Fire a shell and watch it bounce — one ricochet can clear a hidden enemy around a corner. Walls break after enough hits, gradually opening the arena. Each match runs to a kill limit; respawns are instant. The tempo is faster than most artillery games because there's no reload delay — just aim and fire.

Works best for players who like geometry-based aiming games — calculating bounce angles is the core skill here, not reaction time. Good for 1v1 sessions with a friend or against AI. Tip: fire along walls parallel to your target rather than directly at them — a single-bounce trajectory is harder for the opponent to predict.
