Hills Of Steel
Drive a tank across side-scrolling hilly terrain and fire at enemy tanks positioned on ridges and in valleys. The terrain is the puzzle: your shells follow a parabolic arc affected by gravity, so shooting uphill requires more power and a higher angle than shooting across flat ground. Your tank has three stats: hull armor, turret firepower, and engine speed. Between missions you spend scrap metal earned from kills to upgrade one of these. Some missions have time limits, others require you to survive a set number of enemy waves without moving. The terrain destructs when hit by explosives, creating new cover or removing existing hiding spots. Boss tanks appear every ten missions, each with a unique weapon like a double-barrel cannon or a mortar that lobs shells over hills.

Style Tips
Focus on mastering the core mechanic early: drive a tank across side-scrolling hilly terrain and fire at enemy tanks positioned on ridges and in valleys. Prioritize upgrades that improve your primary gameplay loop before branching out to secondary improvements. Take a moment to study the full layout before making your first move. Planning ahead saves resources and avoids dead ends. Pay attention to how objects interact with the physics engine. Understanding momentum and gravity gives you a significant advantage. Survival often depends on positioning rather than raw speed. Find a safe spot and plan your next move carefully.
