UPDATE: This was an april fools joke and has since been reverted. But if you had fun with it, you can download the archived JAR file for it here! If you guys liked these features, maybe they will make it into the base game someday as options...
Hello everyone,
I'm proud to announce that Tanks has gone 3D! A new update is now available for all of you to play, where you can explore the third dimension.
To get started, just jump with space! You'll fly up a bit, letting you walk on top of walls or land on other tanks to stomp them to oblivion!
Plus, enjoy some more realistic bullet physics! Bullets will now add your velocity, so if you're moving forward, you'll shoot an extra speedy bullet. Additionally, you will now get your bullet's velocity added to yourself too because why not.
There are several other minor improvements for you to enjoy, relating to the sound engine, and a user interface refresh.
Enjoy!
