One of the most popular WebGL games today is TANX, our online tank battle game. WebGL brings developers amazing new possibilities: lightning fast load times, cross-platform play, easy sharing, incredible performance. It all adds up to instant, pure fun.

But as good as TANX is, we’ve been working hard on a major upgrade. And we’re happy to announce that it’s live today! So what’s new?

We’ve added a brand new level. We’ve moved away from the ‘TRON’ style graphics and adopted a more realistic style. Beautiful, I hope you’ll agree.

All power ups have been lovingly remodeled.

We’ve added a very sexy shield effect. See it crackle with energy as it kicks in. All done in a special custom GLSL shader.

To turn up the mayhem, we’ve added camera shake and punchy explosions, built with PlayCanvas’ particle system component.
