- Some news about the 2.0 development - 26 January 2026
Hello there,In december, I've announced that a big 2.0 update for the game was in the works. I think it's time for me to give you some news about the development.So without further ado, here is a first glance at what it's all about!The main menu of the work in progress update.Customisation at the heart of the experienceOne of the major change that was announced was the ability to customise the tank unit instead of having to select a premade unit.

I also wanted to thank you for that, as feedback are always extremely importants for an indie developer like me.Even if the game was well received, some aspects of it were still a bit off and disliked. It's a fact that I can totally understand and share. I also observed myself som…
