Tiger Tank — Play Free Online

Tiger Tank is an action and shooting game that puts you in control of a tank, with the keyboard handling movement and the mouse handling your aim. It runs directly in the page, so there is nothing to install and you can be driving within a few seconds of the page loading.

It sits a long way from the vertical hopping Doodle Jump is known for, but the appeal is similar: the controls are simple to learn, a single attempt is short, and getting a little better each time is the whole hook. If you want a break from climbing platforms and would like to point something at a target instead, this is a quick change of pace.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and to choose options on the menus. On a phone or tablet you tap and swipe instead, so a touch screen works without a keyboard. Keeping one hand on the movement keys and the other on the mouse is the most comfortable setup on a laptop or desktop.

Because movement and aiming are separate, you can steer one way while pointing your gun another. Get used to that split early, since it lets you keep moving rather than stopping each time you want to line up a shot.

Tips

• Keep moving. A tank that sits still is the easiest thing on screen to hit.
• Learn the menus with the mouse first, then settle on keyboard keys that suit your hand: arrows for one-handed play, WASD if the other hand stays on the mouse.
• On a touch screen, short swipes are easier to control than long ones.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

If you enjoy fast, simple rounds, Helix Jump is a one-touch game about guiding a ball downward, and Bouncy Basketball is a quirky sports game that suits short sessions. Bloons Tower Defense 2 is the one to try if you like the strategic side of aiming and placing things rather than driving. Doodle Jump itself remains the classic if you want to go back to jumping.

Tiger Tank suits a few minutes on a break, on a laptop, Chromebook or phone, wherever a browser will run.
