Complete Tanks vs Tanks 2.0

[Bloodbane]

This is my entry for Kenney Jam 2021 whose theme is Rotation

Plants vs Zombies with OpenBoR? why not? this game is proof that it can be done 8).
Unlike Plants vs Zombies, units can be deployed directly when they are available in HUD on top of the screen. And there's also no currency needed to deploy any unit so don't hold back once units are available.
To fit the theme, available units are rotated from one unit to next one until it repeats from 1st unit and so on. Incoming enemy tanks are also rotated from one tank to next tank.

Controls:

NumPad keys = move hand
X = Deploy unit (when selected slot shows available unit)
C = Remove unit
S = Move unit selector left
D = Move unit selector right
Enter = Pause
F8 = Take screenshot

Control scheme can be changed in options section.

Features:
Jam version
1. 6 Blue Tank types to deploy
2. 3 obstacle types + 1 land mine to deploy
3. 6 Red Tank types
4. 2 modes:
3.1 Regular (3 tank slots, 2 obstacles slots)
3.2 Tanks Mania (5 tank slots)

Post Jam version
1. 7 Tank types to deploy
2. 4 obstacle types
3. 5 attack items to deploy
4. 7 Red Tank types
5. 4 modes:
5.1 Regular (2 tank slots, 2 obstacles slots and 1 attack slot)
5.2 Tanks Mania (5 tank slots)
5.3 Zero Tanks (2 obstacles slots and 3 attack slots)
5.4 Safe Ground (2 tank slots, 2 obstacles slots and 1 attack slots) for practice


Enjoy this fun and challenging game !

Hi Bloodbane, you've got already my thouyghts about this cool grid game but I can post here in 3 points:
- The tank icon in grey with a counter and colored when the tank is ready to place on map
- For the tank design, 2 or 3 cannons for the canks that can have 2 or tris shots.
- An aerial attack that can wipe the enemy wave should be cool

Thanks to offer the possibility to make this kind of game .

strategy games? can't give any opinion about the gameplay because I prefer action games but..
Wow look at those tanks I love the visuals! All the color looks beautiful

Thanks guys  ;D

Any plans for updates after jam?

Yes. I'd like to implement my ideas of having more explosive items than just mines.
I'd also would like to create more tank(s) and alternate rotation slot which rotates on opposite direction.

Excellent, everything is better  8) . I like the different game modes, the cooldown and the arrow are precious informations for the player.
The bombs and aerial raids are very well done too. I think the the last thing that you can do for this game is different backgrounds like roads, sands but it's optional.
