Mad Tanks

Streamlining Operations

Unfortunately, developing casual games for mobile platforms has become quite a hassle.
There are millions of games and apps available because basically anyone with minimal knowledge can make one, thus, developing a new game makes no sense, markets prioritize the most popular games and don’t really promote new titles unless you have a big fat budget for marketing.

At the same time, there are these stupid new regulations, like GDPR and CPRA. Marketplaces have their own rules, which they change from time to time, like the Google Play Store, which requires updating the app at least once every 2 years, otherwise, it will be automatically removed.
Plus, sometimes I need to update games to fix my own bugs and add new features.

Anyway, keeping numerous games in compliance with all the new rules and regulations is quite a soul-sucking task, so I’ve decided to remove most games from markets except for the two most popular and profitable.

All-in-One Solitaire and All-in-One Mahjong are both available for Android, iOS, Windows 10+ and online.
I will keep updating those games and add new features.

All other games, All-Peaks Solitaire, Shadow Solitaire, Rainbow Lines and Match Jong are only available online at the Pozirk Games website.

At the same time, there is some good news! 🙂
Old Flash games, that stopped working after Adobe stopped distributing Flash plugin, are slowly coming back to life!
Thanks to Ruffle, a Flash Player emulator.
It is still in beta, but several games are working just fine already.
Balloon Express – works!
Feed The Furry – works!
Instant Football – works!
Mad Tanks – works, but there are some bugs and game doesn’t save the progress.
Total Construction – almost works, but not yet.
Resistance Is Useless – not yet.
Space Age – not yet.
Dolly The Sheep – not yet.
Charlie Likes Strawberries – not yet.

Mad Tanks, Space Age and Resistance Is Useless are still my 3 most favorite games.

Mad Tanks for iPhone and iPod Touch

Some friend of mine has ported Mad Tanks to iPhone.
Unfortunately, name “Mad Tanks” was occupied on App Store, so we chose “Soko Tank”.
Soko Tank game for iPhone and iPod Touch is available at App Store now.

Some news

[ Total Construction is already released. Sponsor was awful. 🙁 ]

[ I have found new artist for Resistance Is Useless game, he decided to make all the graphics from the beginning. So… ]

[ I’ve almost finished with the new design for Pozirk Games website, I’ll switch to it next week. ]

[ Some cool guy from flashgames.de purchased a source code of Instant Football. Second purchase already, this game is popular! ]

[ Friend of mine is porting Mad Tanks to iPhone! And he has almost finished. Unfortunately name “Mad Tanks” is occupied by someone else at AppleStore, so we decided to switch to old name: “Soko Tank“. ]

It’s all the news so far.

Please be patient this game takes time to load

Yes. Files size is ~1.9mb, but!
3 music tracks are ~1mb.
King.com intro size is ~500kb.
So, actual game size is only ~400kb.

Please be patient this game takes time to load… 🙂

Small glitch

There is a small glitch in Mad Tanks and someone has already used it.
I give 1 million points to the player, which pass last level, so it is easy to see who actually finished the game.
But some guys don’t submit their score at the end, instead of that they go to main menu, press continue and play last level again (but they’ve already got 1 million points). So they finish last level once again and get their next million!
That is why there are some players with the score 2+ millions.

Ok. It’s not a big deal. 🙂 I will fix it in next version, if any.

Cover

Designer have just sent me the cover of the game.
For me, this cover is better than whole game. 🙂

Mad Tanks

Game is finished. Looking for sponsor…

Well, because there is already a game called Sokotank, I’ve decided to change the name of mine.
Now, it is Mad Tanks.
Storm of applause. 🙂

Screenshots

Some screenshots from the game.
It is almost done. Still waiting for some graphics and need to make levels 🙂
Some features (well, for me it’s features :)):
* stereo sound;
* auto-pause if user switched from game;
* keys redefinition;
* 3 sound tracks;
* power-ups and different weapons;
* and so on…

Music

I’m happy to say, this will be my second game(Soko-tank, first was Feed The Furry) where I will use the music written by Achim Tober.
His website: http://www.softworxs.de/, where everyone can find something interesting and free :).

Gameplay

It should be 2 games in one: an old, well-known tank game and also 🙂 old and well-known sokoban(or pusher) game.
So, main hero has a tank, he should move boxes to slots to open a portal to next level, and enemy tanks will be in the way of this process.
I’m going to add different kind of weapon, power-ups and maybe bosses.

Soko-tank

Yes, I’ve finally started to make a new game.
Well, right now I’m in process of planning…
And this game will be on AS3.
