Note from the author:
I have been writing artillery games since 1993. I created Pocket Tanks in 2001, and thanks to the many loyal fans, it is still in active development to this very day. Please join me in my quest to make Pocket Tanks a classic artillery game that stands the test of time. Thanks to all who have supported BlitWise over the years.

Ratings and Reviews
Fun game
It’s a great game. For having simple graphics it’s a really entertaining game. Me and some buddies of mine love playing against each other and we’ll be going at it for an hour or two. The only thing I wish would be put into the game is the ability to create a custom game. For example, you could add that your tank could move 10 times instead of 4. Or you could make it so that there are 20 volleys instead of 10. Kinda like how you can add wind or change the size of the explosion.
Thanks for the great game!
Almost Scratches that Nostalgia Itch
For those of us who played the original Scorched Earth in 1991, Pocket Tanks Deluxe is a heart-felt and (mostly) faithful tribute to that classic, and there are some genuinely clever weapons and gadgets included.
There are, however, some design decisions or technical limitations that prevent this game from taking the title of "Mother of All Games": namely, the restriction of only ever having one opponent available. Gone are the days of wild 10-player carnage, and impromptu alliances and betrayals and while it may have been difficult to implement additional players when Pocket Tanks was first developed, in the 20 years since, other more recent "Scorch-likes" have upped the player counts as technology improved.
Even if multiple opponents were added to the Vs AI or Local Play modes only, this game would remain on my device for years to come. As it stands, it's a nice but fleeting reminder of those days of DOS, long gone by.
Love the game but some improvements would be nice
More features as simple as even tank colors would be a refreshing addition. Here’s my main ideas for what can be added:
-Obviously more tank colors
-A terrain editor to allow for custom terrain maps
-Custom weapon selection in private matches as an option
-Health custom mode where you try to drain the opponent of their life bar
Minor improvements:
-Tank movement is either moving too far or not at all, a fuel tank system for it would be nice
-Power bar can be a bit weird with distancing shots
-Make custom private games where we get to choose weapons and who starts
As someone who has bought everything I really do love the game and will continue supporting the game but these minor improvements and new features would be amazing for the player base :)
