V 1.0.0


Hello everyone and welcome to V.1.0.0!


This version features many new UI and polish changes. 


Starting off with UI, the game now fatures a Main and Pause menu.  The main menu is the first scene of the build and will alwyas be called at the start of the game. The pause menu was originally called with the "escape key" however in testing the pause menu on itch i found it battles with the fullscreen shortcut built itno itch. I have instead changed it to the spacebar. The pause menu freezes the gameplay when activated and the player has the choice to either resume the game, go back to the menu or quit. The Main menu has the option to either start the game or quit. In saying that, the quit button will only work if the game was instead an application, so for the build on itch.io the quit button woon't actually do anything. 

An example of the Main Menu in game:

In terms of the games final polish, i ended up creating some sounds and also fixing some minor bugs as well.

To start, the game now has two soundtracks, one for the main menu and one for in-game that will play continuesly when loaded. The game will also play a sound effect in the case of:

  • Either tank dying
  • A mine or grendade exploding
  • A mine being stepped on
  • A mine being placed, and then activating
  • A shield activating
  • Either tank moving
  • Either tank rotating
  • Either tank shooting
  • Either tank reloading, after it has shot 5 bullets

Some minor bug fixes were added to help imporve the overall polish:

  • Fixed an issue where if the player had a shield and they tried to use a greande the grenade would set off pre-emptiviely
  • Fixed an issue with the reload where it needed the user to press the shoot button for the reload timer to start
  • Fixed an issue with the power randomizer spawns where it would spawn the same power-up a lot

Apart from that welcome to a complete version of What The Tank?! I aim to continue this porject however updates won't be as frequent as they have been. More info will be disccussed in my Updates/Roadmap section. 


Thanks again for Playing and until next patch...
