All players possesses a freeze gun which has the ability to freeze your enemy and defrost your teammates! A team can win in two different ways:\r\n\r\n1) all enemies are freezed \r\n2) or the crystal at the enemy based is completely frozen\r\n\r\nCONTROLS\r\n--------------\r\nW\/A\/S\/D: Move Around\r\nLeft mouse button: Freeze enemy\/Defrost teammates\/Repair Own crystal\/Damage enemy crystal\r\n\r\nWARNING\r\n--------------\r\nUnfortunately, there are some issues with the current build. The issues are listed below:\r\n\r\n1) The game is GPU intensive. If you are experiencing framedrops, you should lower the settings. This can be done in the main menu.\r\n2) The game only has two official servers which are not open 24\/7. You can always host your own dedicated server or LAN game.\r\n3) Due to the time limit, we couldn't test our game properly. You might encounter some bugs.\r\n\r\nWe're happy with the learning experience in this Ludum Dare and it was a blast to make Freeze Tank. Hopefully we'll see some of you on the battlefield!\r\n\r\nTHE FUTURE\r\n-------------------\r\nPerhaps in the future, we'll continue the development of Freeze Tank. We might even release a patch later this week.\r\n\r\n\r\nARE YOU INTERESTED IN RUNNING A (24\/7) SERVER?\r\n--------------------\r\nPlease let us know! We will tweet your server adress!","title":"Freeze Tank"}
