The gameplay of "Lil Tanks" is characterized as a scrolling shooter featuring tanks, which results in limited maneuverability and a larger hitbox for players. While it provides a few hours of entertainment, the use of special abilities is not essential to completing the game, indicating a straightforward core experience.
“Gameplay: Lil Tanks is, more or less, a scrolling shooter, but with tanks, making for slightly less maneuvering, a slightly bigger player hitbox, and slightly more player projectiles on screen.”
“But, regardless, the specials do not make or break the core gameplay since you can defeat the game without using specials.”
