How to play
Controls

Gameplay
- Objective: In each level, your goal is to destroy all enemy tanks, turrets, and spawners. Some levels may require you to take out a specific target, like a boss or enemy base.
- Collect coins: Defeat enemies and break crates to earn coins. These drop as yellow pickups and are essential for upgrades.
- Health management: Watch your health bar. Pick up health kits (green crosses) to recover damage, and avoid getting too close to explosive barrels or enemy fire.
- Progression: After clearing a level, you’ll earn a cash reward based on your performance. Use this in the upgrade menu to improve your tank.
