Bumper Tank Battle is like highly competitive drunk bumper cars, free on iOS and Android

Tanks usually go BOOM, but in Bumper Tank Battle their cannons are only show, so they're limited to BUMP.

Your mission is one of destruction: smash at high-speed into other tanks to turn them into flaming wrecks. The other tanks are trying to do the same, so it's a case of bump or be bumped.

There are two aspects of the game's design that make this simple task a challenging one.

Firstly, the controls are one-touch. The tank accelerates on its own accord, and travels in an arc, always steering in circles to the left or right.

You tap the screen to change its direction, so you movement is always a weaving one, and never a straight line.

Secondly, there are rocks all over the battlefield. Bumping into these is very easy given the lack of control you have over your tank's steering.

Bumping into a rock leaves you open to getting bumped by other tanks.

There's another aspect to be wary of, too. You want to avoid head-on collisions with other tanks as, usually, they'll win. Your target should be to smash them from behind or the side.

Bumper Tank Battle has a number of appealing features, then: it's easy to pick up, challenging always, and a little bit silly.

You can download it for free on the App Store [download] and Google Play [download] right this instant.
