Description
Pinball where the ball is a tank! Use your tank to take out enemy gun placements, bunkers and tanks.
How to Play
Arrow keys (left and right) control paddles and plunger (down) to launch ball. Use your mouse to aim your tank turret and left click to shoot.
Tips
Take your time to aim carefully before you shoot and remember that as the screen scrolls with the tank where you are shooting may change even if you don't move the mouse. Be careful to adjust for this movement with your mouse.
Get a tank into each building in enemy HQ for a special bonus.

A definite fan favorite. The concept of this game is pure genius. Playing classic pinball and having the added ability to shoot with your "ball" adds an awesome dimension to the gameplay. Miguel spent an incredibly long time working on those trees so appreciate the foliage.

Man, I wish I thought of this. The "simple" twist on pinball is simply brilliant!
As soon as you see the game you intuitively know how to play it.
Hopefully this launches a new genre. Match3, Escape-The-Room, Block Building, Tower Defense - prepare for Pinball + Vehicle Mashups.
Play it now. It's a great game, definitely one of the best created at TOJam #4.
It goes without saying I love the pixel art. My hands ache thinking about covering that much playfield with good looking pixels.
Sound effects are also top notch, I just wish they didn't overpower that awesome soundtrack.
I love hitting the tank with my flippers, and guiding it with my shots.
My only complaint is the actual pinball table layout.
Getting the tank to the top seems impossible,
and the second flipper consistently sends you into some trees
(losing your treasured upward momentum).
You know the game is good if I'm complaining about unfair pinball tables :)
