Projectiles and Explosions

• Fire powerful projectiles from your tank, causing explosions on impact (max 60 explosion damage).

• Watch out for the blast radius and strategize your shots to outmaneuver your opponents.
• Your projectile is affected by the current wind! (dynamic-wind)

Game-changer: PARACHUTES

• Picture this: your tank hovering in midair, the terrain below crumbling from the impact of a projectile.
• That's when you deploy your trusty parachute, gently guiding your tank down at a controlled pace, unscathed. But watch out, you've only got three parachutes per game!
• If you're out of parachutes, brace for impact as your tank falls faster, taking damage with each pixel of height.

It's all about timing and resource management in the midst of chaos!

Powerups and Upgrades

• Earn currency from scoring hits and use them to buy powerups:
• Repair kits (R) - cost 20: repairs the player’s tank by increasing health by 20.
• Additional fuel (F) - cost 10: increase the player’s remaining fuel by 200.
• Additional parachute (P) - cost 15: increase the player's remaining parachutes by 1.
• ULTIMATE (X) - cost 20: the next shot fired by this player will have double the radius (60 instead of 30). Projectile damage is not increased but will affect tanks within the radius.

These can be game-changers in the heat of battle!
