Tank Ball: Monster Battle — Play Free Online

Tank Ball: Monster Battle is an action and shooting game that runs straight in the browser. The title tells you the setup: you take control of a tank-style unit and fight monsters in a battle arena. It is a 3D build made with the Unity engine, so it opens with a short loading bar the first time, then drops you into the fight with nothing to install.

On a site built around Doodle Jump, most games are about one-button timing and climbing as high as you can. This one is a change of pace. Instead of dodging from platform to platform, you are moving freely, aiming with the mouse and picking fights, which makes it a good break when you want something a little more active than a jumper.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD. Use the mouse to aim and to select options in the menus. On a phone or tablet the game uses touch instead: tap and swipe on the screen to steer and aim.

A session is built around battles against monsters. Start from the menu, pick what the game offers, and use the movement keys to stay clear of danger while the mouse lines up your shots. Because the game is a compact Unity download, expect a short first load and then quick restarts between rounds.

Tips

• Keep moving. Standing still while aiming is the easiest way to take avoidable damage in any arena shooter.
• Learn the controls in the first round before worrying about score; mouse aiming and keyboard movement take a few minutes to feel natural together.
• If the picture looks small, use the fullscreen option in the game frame so the arena is easier to read.
• On touch screens, play in landscape and give the game a moment to finish loading before you start tapping.

Tank Ball: Monster Battle suits players who like to aim and shoot with a mouse, and it works for short breaks as well as longer sessions since each battle is self-contained.
