tiny world war by Jonny D
Play with up to 4 players in nostalgic tank combat (remember the good old days when you drove a tank?).
Relive all the excitement of your army days with four different weapons and two game modes (team battle and free for all).
When setting up your controls, you can use any combination of buttons on any keyboard or joystick. If only you could plug in real tank controls, it would be perfect...
A note about the controls: Controls are naturally mapped, so "left" makes your tank go left, etc. To facilitate hiding among allies, your tank is unidentified. Part of the fun is figuring out which tank you are and which tank your target is. War is messy.

The music was done in Fruity Loops. I just tossed it together quickly. It's really only a beat loop and an arp loop.

Yeah, I wanted to add more control over how many teammates you have. You can edit the level file and remove some "Player" entries to remove the corresponding AI players. Save it as a new level and it will show up in the game's browser.
I thought the theme was a bit missing, but it's good stuff anyhow! Congrats!
You can keep an eye on code.bluedinosaurs.com for an updated version... once I get around to putting one up.
Nice game, The tanks didn't feel much like tanks though, and I had some trouble with the controls.
The menus are a bit unpolished, but well done for adding that much functionality.
Also the game froze when I put focus in another window, and then back to the game (though I've seen this in other LD entries, so it may be whatever library you're using)
