I hope that more people will enjoy it. Past years show that I have no time to maintain it anyway. And it does not bring any significant income. It was an interesting experience :)Read full article on Community Announcements (Qwib-Qwib)Patch NotesOfficial

They must support XInput API or in other words must be XBox compatible gamepads. Menu Keyboard: Arrow keys for navigation. Enter for pressing items. For volume bars and Level editor tanks selection Left and Right arrow keys can be used. Gamepad: Left stick, Right stick or D-pad for navigation. A, B, X, Y (XBox gamepad) for pressing items. For volume bars and Level editor tanks selection Left and Right directions of sticks or D-pad can be used. Game Keyboard Can be used for 1 or 2 players. Player 1: arrow keys for movement, Space for shooting Player 2: WASD for movement, left CTRL for shooting. Press Escape for pause + menu. Gamepad: Left stick, Right stick or D-pad for movement. A, B (XBox gamepad) or Right shoulder trigger for shooting. Start or Back (XBox gamepad) for pause + menu. Level list Keyboard: Arrow keys for navigation or selecting item action.

New version released
Hi all! New version of TANKS is released. There are following small improvements: - Last session is now stored and it is possible to continue playing from last non-completed level restoring player stats. But beware, starting new game and completing first level will overwrite save data. Let's see if this new feature works good enough - Friendly fire setting in Options - Possibility to control Pause and all menus using also second gamepad - Small change in launching procedure to likely fix a rare issue when game starts without appearing on desktop/screen. - Hopefully no new bugs addedRead full article on Community Announcements (Qwib-Qwib)AnnouncementsOfficial
