v1.5.0Current version
What's new
Every update to Ricochet Tanks, newest first. Updates reach the Discord Activity and the browser game at the same time.
Smarter AI
Enemies get smarter sooner and the campaign gets harder faster. The last worlds are brutal, but beatable.
- Enemies use their smarter tactics from the early missions, not only in the later worlds.
- Difficulty climbs faster through the first worlds, so the middle of the campaign is a real fight.
- The first few missions still give you room to learn: rookie enemies fire slower and hold back at the start.
- Enemy skill now tops out just short of the maximum, so the hardest worlds can be cleared.
- Brown turrets aim better.
- Tuned with a benchmark: a scripted player ran 23 missions across the campaign, 20 times each, before and after the change.
Command look and a new soundtrack
All ten worlds, the tanks and the effects move to a darker military look, with new music for every world.
- Battlefields of concrete, dirt and armour plate, with sandbags, blast walls and floodlights.
- New tank models with tracks, road wheels and weathered paint.
- Grey gun smoke, fire, and wrecks that smoulder after a kill.
- A new soundtrack: one track per world plus the boss and Endless, remastered for cleaner sound.
- A world's music keeps playing through its missions instead of restarting each time.
- Mission cards (world title, intro, pause, cleared, game over) match the new look.
- A bonus tank every 10 missions (was every 5).
- You can hide yourself from the leaderboards in the account menu.
Endless mode
Survive wave after wave on arenas from every world, and climb the Endless leaderboard.
- Each wave borrows an arena from the campaign, with its world's look and music.
- Waves start around mission 30 to 50 difficulty and keep getting harder.
- Three lives, plus one more every five waves.
- Signed-in solo runs post to the new Endless tab on the leaderboard: most waves first, then kills.
- Co-op hosts can start Endless too.
Touch controls
Play on phones and tablets with twin-stick controls.
- Drive with the left thumb. Drag to aim and lift to fire with the right.
- Mine and pause buttons, bigger menu buttons, and a buzz on hits where your device supports it.
- A prompt to turn your phone sideways when it is held upright.
Two-player co-op
Play the campaign with a friend.
- Start a co-op room from the title screen, then invite a friend through Discord or a room link.
- Enemies go after whichever tank is closest. The mission only fails when both tanks are down.
- Co-op games don't change your solo progress or the leaderboards.
Ricochet Tanks launches
