Overview

Tiny Tanks is a 2D top-down multiplayer tank battle game built for up to 20 players per session. Players choose a callsign, pick a team, and drop into a compact arena where every second counts and every coin matters. Matches are fast, chaotic, and full of tactical decisions — do you rush a healing zone, drop a mine on the run, or hold your smoke screen for a desperate escape?

Multiplayer

Sessions support up to 20 players organized into five color-coded teams: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Players choose their team in a pre-match staging screen that shows the live roster and available slots.

One player hosts the session directly from their PC — no dedicated server required. Other players join by connecting to the host's address. Networking is built on Unity Netcode for GameObjects, handling state synchronisation, client-side prediction, and authority-based game logic across all connected players.
