Racing Tanks! v1.3 - Anniversary Update!

Hi everyone!
One year ago, I released the full version of Racing Tanks here on Steam. It was a really emotional moment for me, as not only I finally finished the game that I've been working for years at that time and could consider myself a true Game Developer, but also because I was on a really dark but important time in my life, so the release of this game meant a lot to me at that moment.

A lot has happened in a year, so to celebrate this special day, not only the game is going to be on discount for a week (perfect to gift to your friends!), but also I added two new game modes!

  • Key: Find the Key scattered in the map, and use it to reach the goal, but if your opponent grabbed it before you, destroy him so they can grab de Key!
  • Tower: There's an evil control tower in the map, preventing anyone to access the goal. Team up with your rival to destroy this tower! But don't forget that you're still enemies!

I also added some quality of life features that will make your gameplay a little bit more enjoyable:

  • Now your character will show an icon at the start of the round, so you won't have to be searching for it as much!
  • Now the Race mode will have the goal locked for 5 seconds at the beginning of the round, so if the goal was placed right in front of your enemy, you still have time to turn the tables!
  • Some of the Power Ups now show its icon and time left right on your tank! It was hard to tell if your enemy had a shield right away if you weren't looking at their stats.
  • Other minor visual improvements (now bullets have an impact effect).
  • Bug Fixes (of course there's always bugs)

I hope that you enjoy this update with your friends, and thank you so much for playing my game!
