Tank Trouble is a fast-paced local multiplayer tank battle game where players control tanks in an arena, navigating obstacles and firing projectiles to destroy opponents. The goal is simple: outmanoeuvre and shoot rivals to be the last tank standing. It’s easy to pick up, competitive, and full of chaotic fun.
Tank Trouble is a two-player local multiplayer game where both players share a single keyboard.
Each player controls a tank using tank-style controls:
- Forward/Backward keys move the tank in the direction it’s facing.
- Left/Right keys rotate the tank.
- Fire launches a shell in the direction the turret faces.
Projectiles have a cooldown between shots, meaning you cannot spam fire — timing your shots is as important as aiming.
- Move forward: W
- Move backwards: S
- Turn left: A
- Turn right: D
- Fire: Space
- Move forward: Up Arrow
- Move backwards: Down Arrow
- Turn left: Left Arrow
- Turn right: Right Arrow
- Fire: Enter
- Each tank has a brief cooldown after firing (typically 1–3 seconds depending on tank type).
- This prevents constant rapid fire and adds a layer of strategy — players must choose the right moment to shoot.

- Mind splash damage — even near-misses can deal chip damage if you’re too close.
- Play your tank’s strengths — smaller tanks excel at dodging, larger ones at area control.
