About this game

3D Tanx is a simple shooting gallery game in which you control a gun along the bottom of the screen and fire shells at tanks moving across a bridge above.

Because the shells travel slowly, successful attacks require aiming ahead of the tanks. The enemy also fires back, and hits can either destroy a tank or damage it, leaving it stationary but still able to shoot. Each wave requires a set number of tanks to be destroyed, with enemy numbers and speed increasing as the game progresses. You have three lives, losing one when struck by enemy fire or when your ammunition runs out.
