My Little Tank: Explosively Fun

Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple iPhone & iPod Touch" @ 12:00 PM

Product Category: iPhone/iPod Touch Game
Developer: Astraware
Where to Buy: iTunes Store
Price: $4.99
System Requirements: iPhone / iPod Touch with Firmware 2.0 or later

Pros:

  • Simple to learn;
  • Explosions are fun;
  • Graphics and sounds are both good.

Cons:

  • A bit on the easy side;
  • Using any controls but tapping the screen can be extremely frustrating.


Summary:
My Little Tank is a fun pick-up and play tank shooter. While it may err on the easy side, it's still a heck of a lot of fun and a great time waster.

There Once Was a Tank...
In My Little Tank, you play the operator of a little tank. Your job is to protect your base and / or destroy other enemy tanks in the area. Along the way, you pick up power-ups that enhance your firepower or replenish your life meter. Missions range from destroying enemy tanks to protecting bases and cities.

Figure 1: My Little Tank in action.

Along the bottom of the screen are meters for your energy and the number of lives, and the score. To Pause, you simply press the lower right corner of the screen. At the top of the screen in the center is an indicator to tell you how many enemy tanks are still running around on the level you're on.

For me, the most fun in this game is just flat out blowing stuff up. The explosions are always entertaining and seeing walls fall down and buildings blow up is entertaining and stress-relieving at the same time.
