Charge in, take aim and take off!


ThinkTanks is a tank combat game designed to be a blast for the new and experienced gamer alike with lighthearted, fast paced pandemonium. Either battling against brain-hungry bots in solo play or going head-to-head against others online, ThinkTanks has something for everyone.

Solo Play


You find yourself in a ThinkTank... just one of many brain slaves imprisoned by Alien Mind Control-- only you have managed to escape their brain rays. But the moment you are free, you are besieged on all sides by insane bot-tanks. You must destroy or be destroyed and keep on your toes at all times. Luckily you can collect powerups that give you wacky weapons to help you stay alive. As you progress through each level, the bot tanks get smarter, stronger and crazier as Alien Mind Control reprograms the bot tanks to match your wits. Your goal is to beat the bosses, then rescue your brain-brethren and continue the fight on other worlds.

Quickplay Battle Mode


Upon entering, you are immediately engaged by heavy artillery. This is no-holds-barred warfare and to the victor go the points. You can be catapulted or thrust in any direction by rolling over the boost and jump pads to escape attack or rush the enemy. The lush, green hills are scattered with bots on the warpath, bots choking in their own smoke, floating orbs with special powers and ammunition, boulders, trees, AND the dreaded pit of doom. The goal here is to keep your brain intact, and triumph over bots of every shape, size, speed and skill.

Scrum


You are cast into a veritable feeding frenzy of tanks. You need to simultaneously track the position of your tank relative to the scrum ball using your radarscope, while navigating your tank along the bumpy terrain. If you are quick enough to pick up the ball yourself, you must make a mad dash to the goal, evading the thirsty pack of mad bots heavy on your trail. You win by capturing the most scrum balls in the allotted time.

Both On-line BattleMode and Scrum games have team-play variants and online chat that allow players to play together cooperatively.

- Cool highscores lists; one for each mode
- Online highscores; found here: http://www.biancagames.com/scores/
- 2 player mode like the old pac-man machines; lose a life and it is the other player's turn. The only modes playable in 2 player are Classic and Subtle Knife....
- In Subtle Knife and Quick-Knife, you get to have a pokemon for a daemon. What pokemon you have depends on which character you choose to play as.
- The pokemon daemons say their corresponding pokemon cries, and they even sound fainted when they die just like they do in the actual pokemon games.

- Help for this game, which is also accessable from the game's main menu, can be found here: http://biancagames.com/bobanoid_help.html
- The two characters from my other game, Space La Shae 2, are featured in this game.


Update Dec 22 2006 9:05 PM
As of right now, the game has been changed slightly.
I felt that I had made rescue mode too easy. So instead of no daemon in rescue mode and 1 life, it's yes daemon and 5 lives (without a daemon, rescue mode = easy as pie, even with 1 life, trust me).
The download link is still the same, so download again for the fixed version, the zip file has the same name but the exe inside doesn't.
Also due to this the online highscores for both Rescue and Quick Rescue have been cleared....
I tested this new version for the most part, so there should be no errors, but in the outside chance you get one, please report it.

]]> 26 Jan 2007 07:00:54 Rotation! There's a fair few "reaction tests" across the internet, and most of them follow one cliche idea or another - click at the right time, click the right amount of times and so on. This one is slightly different, and requires a bit more thinking than the standard methods.

There are two things to focus on, each of them a ring with 15 circles. You can rotate the outer ring with your mouse. When the colors of each of the circles match up, click the left mouse. If you've aligned them properly, you'll get points and extra time. Otherwise, you'll just lose some points. Then, the colors reset and you try again. Try to get the most rings possible in a minute and earn yourself a highscore!

There are 3 gamemodes, and 8 "skins".

Also, the song featured is named Obscurity, written by Dark Nebula.

]]> 30 Jan 2007 03:44:44 Flying Invaders From the classics is born yet another clone!

The Flying Invaders is a free space invaders (tm) clone, but there is more, this clone comes complete with source!

Thats right, you can download not only a playable game, but the source code to see how to make the game yourself!

I wrote this game for beginners using Aurora who wanted to know how to use 3d and 2d together to make something unique, but as a challenge, I used the 2d surface that one would normally use for the HUD to place the game on, and the backdrop is a rotating sun, with an orbiting planet that has its very own moon!

I left alot of features out of the game so that others who are learning could add in what could already be there, this was to reduce the complexity of the code since the target audience in mind was new game developers!

This was written in Aurora, so you would need to get a demo version of Aurora and once you load the project, simply follow the instructions for creating a BASS.Lib file and then compile away!

(Or just download the full working game)

]]> 01 Feb 2007 11:50:20 Dig Dug Dig Dug is an arcade game released by Namco in 1982. A popular game based on a simple concept, it was also available as a home video game available on many consoles, and had many arcade and home clones. Dig Dug runs on Namco Galaga hardware.

The objective of Dig Dug is to eliminate underground-dwelling monsters. This can be done by inflating them until they pop or by dropping rocks on them. There are two kinds of enemies in the game: Pookas are round red monsters who look like tomatoes wearing yellow goggles, and Fygars; green dragons who can breathe fire. The player's character is Dig Dug, dressed in white and blue who can make tunnels. Dig Dug is killed if he is caught by a monster, burned by a Fygar's fire, or crushed by a rock.

It takes four 'pumps' with the player's action button to inflate a monster to popping. If left partially inflated, the monster will deflate and recover after a few seconds, but half-inflating is a useful way to stun an enemy, especially to make sure it remains in the path of a falling rock.

The monsters normally crawl through the tunnels in the dirt but they can turn into ghostly-eyes and travel slowly through the dirt.
