Simple Tanks

Simple Tanks is a 2D, top-down shooter where players control their very own tank and attempt to destroy each other for no other reason than they are there and they can (do I smell Simple Tanks: The Movie?). To help you accomplish this goal you can collect power-ups. These power-ups will either give you new weapons, various shields to help protect you, an allied computer-controlled turret, or destroy you.
