Note from the author:
I have been writing artillery games since 1993. I created Pocket Tanks in 2001, and thanks to the many loyal fans, it is still in active development to this very day. Please join me in my quest to make Pocket Tanks a classic artillery game that stands the test of time. Thanks to all who have supported BlitWise over the years.

8 of 25I don’t think they have ever reviewed they’re game since it was released
When going to this game, this stupid app seems to have trouble loading. Why can’t my game work anymore?
Love this game so much as a kid! Now on a mobile app!!? I love it
I love this game. I remember my dad showing me this game maybe in 2001 when I was 3 and have been playing it ever since and in 28 now, still playing it with my dad and family that grew up with it.
This game is actually perfect I will end up buying merch for my family
This game is old and still gets updates and the reason why you people say “its bad wa wa waa” is because its a very old game it’s like yelling at a grown dog because it accidentally hits its head on a table, And ITS BECAUSE ITS OLD JUST SHOW RESPECT TO THE GAME DANG THATS ALL I ASK OF YOU
Suckered by nostalgia, I’ve spent more time with this game than it deserves. The biggest problem is that what you see isn’t always accurate. This is most critical when try to shoot through obstructions but creeps up elsewhere. Other issues include poor weapon value assignments, poor randomizations from the weapon draw to the arena generation, and odd weapon value logic. Weapon draw luck has too much impact. Small issue, too many of the weapons are actually the same thing with different optics.
I’ve been playing this game since computer lab in middle school sometime in the very early 2000s. Absolutely love this game and share with everybody that I can so I can have 1on1 matches. So glad it’s still available.
