Good fun! As a FPS player, I want an option to bind A and D to strafe and use mouse or arrow keys to turn.
Also, maybe have the music fade in so I have a chance to save my ears. "Blast" indeed. :)
- z9znz 4y agoBut tanks can't usually strafe... The sound is very reminiscent of the old video game arcades. Just about every game cabinet was pumping out some soundtrack and game sounds like this, so the entire place had a certain acoustic character which was very unique. I'd hate it now with my older sensitive ears, but as a kid it was a siren song.
- madrox 4y agoIt isn't a tank. It's a triangle. Tanks also don't have infinite ammo. We make concessions to unreality all the time in the name of making things more fun. And this isn't an arcade. It's a web page. It's a common courtesy to people visiting web pages to not get immediately blasted with sound at the high end of the range.
- z9znz 4y agoAnd yet, this game was clearly intended to be a throback to old arcade games. And old arcade games like this typically modeled tanks (and didn't have strafing). Old arcade games also DID have loud music like this, and as I noted above the whole arcade was full of these competing sounds.
