The briefing

About this game

In Anarchy, you pilot an Ace Mk2 Interceptor tank on a dangerous mission to Sentinel 4, where rebel weapons caches must be destroyed across 16 stages.

Each level is viewed from above with simple sideways scrolling. Destroy every weapons crate to open the exit, but crates cannot be blasted from point-blank range, making positioning and planning essential. Guard droids can be temporarily disabled, while shooting or colliding with them can push them and create new routes.

Every stage has a two-minute time limit. Every fifth level adds a nuclear weapon guarded by a seeking droid that continually follows the tank.
