Angry Tank (1.99) by Tashlik

Available on iPhone only

I occasionally seek out apps that look kind of rough because you never know… sometimes they’re surprisingly fun! Angry Tank is definitely rough around the edges, but the only thing that’s surprising about it is the concept.

You’re controlling a tank in this game that’s constantly getting bombarded by bombs dropped from aircraft flying overhead. Bombs are bad for tanks, right? Wrong! In Angry Tank, bombs make your tank fly. Uhh, ok. So once you’re in the air… you use your tank’s cannon to shoot stuff, right? Wrong again! You use arrow buttons to make your magic flying tank wipe out enemies by colliding with them.

I admire the efforts of small developers and I really hate ragging on them, so I’ll say this: Angry Tank could be labeled “good effort” if you consider that this appears to be Tashlik’s first App Store entry… but in all honesty this game is a disaster. Tank games are popular because people like shooting stuff, and there’s something very cool about controlling an armored war machine, but the only thing this game delivers is a strange and disappointing experience. Thinking “outside the box” is awesome, but it just doesn’t work here.

If Angry Tank were free I’d probably be able to find something to say that might encourage you to download it, but for $1.99 all I can really say is stay away!

Hopefully Tashlik’s future app releases are more engaging.
