How to Play Panzi Panzer
You command a top-down tank in a bounded open arena. WASD drives — the tank body smoothly rotates to match your direction. The mouse aims the turret independently of where you’re driving. Click or spacebar fires a shell. Trees, rocks, walls, and ruins block both bullets and movement, so use them as cover. Destroy every enemy tank on the map to clear the level. Win all 4 biomes for the campaign.
Four Biomes
- Forest — green ground, scattered trees. 3 enemies. Easy. Learn the controls.
- Desert — sandy ground, cacti, plus stone walls. 4 enemies. Walls force you to flank.
- Snow — frozen pines and ruins. 5 enemies. Dense cover everywhere.
- Wasteland — ruined urban arena, lava cracks. 6 enemies plus a boss tank. Final stand.
Enemy Tanks
- Scout (orange) — fast and aggressive. Lower HP, common in early levels.
- Hunter (purple) — accurate. Tracks turret hard, shoots straight.
- Heavy (rust red) — slow but tanky. Heavy shells, takes 4-5 hits.
- Boss (deep red, level 4 only) — large hull, dual barrels, glowing eye, big damage.
Each enemy has a state indicator above its turret: ? means searching for you, ! means it has line of sight and is engaging. Break line of sight by ducking behind cover and the ! drops back to ?.
Tactical Tips
- Use cover. Trees and walls block bullets. Pop out, fire, slip back behind. Don’t fight in the open.
- Mouse aim is independent. You can drive one way and shoot another — circle around an enemy while keeping your turret locked.
- Reload is slow. ~1 second between shots at base. Make every shell count, then duck.
- Mini-map matters. Pink dots are enemies. Watch where they’re patrolling and ambush from cover.
- Pick off weakest first. Scouts die in 2 hits. Heavies take 5. Don’t engage a heavy plus two hunters at once.
- Cannon Lvl 2 is the breakpoint — adds side gun bursts after each main shot. Triple your damage on engaged targets.
Upgrades — Visibly Attach to Your Tank
Every kill drops scrap. After clearing a level, the upgrade bay opens:
- Engine — more max speed, sharper acceleration, faster body rotation. Adds glowing exhaust intakes.
- Cannon — more damage, faster reload. Lvl 2 mounts side machine guns that fire after each main shell. Lvl 4 bolts on rocket pods.
- Armor — +35 max hull each level. Adds visible side plating; hull stripe color shifts (cyan → blue → purple → yellow → pink).
- Repair — restores hull to full. Cheap insurance before the next biome.
