“Once you get a feel for the game mechanics (shoot, jump, dash), it's really fun dashing and beating up the enemy tanks.”
“The most fun part of this game by far is mastering your dash mechanic and the slightly weaker jump mechanic, combining them to quite literally fly across the map at times.”
“Gameplay is straightforward; however, mastering the recoil of your guns while boost jumping to avoid enemy fire takes a lot of skill.”
“And while I really like the addition of physics to shake up the gameplay, I do wish the 'retro' mode disabled it entirely to get that original experience.”
“It plays a lot like the tank mini-game from Wii Play, but with jumping and dashing mechanics.”
