Interesting concept and while a very random still challenging game. Make sure you add exit button/key shortcut to your games it's a little annoying to have to Alt+F4. Also I did not see much point in dragging boxes around since there is not much time to set-up things.

I think that the game is... Okay.

The idea is great, but controls feel clunky and unresponsive. It's still playable, and I understand that implementing the mechanics was painful (looking at the game).

Very fun and fits the theme. Well done!

I like the concept a lot. The over aesthetic is good. The music is fitting. The game was very difficult for me which is good. It adds replay ability and a reason to get better. Good job!

Pretty fun! The controls are a little fiddly, sometimes the guy would move two spaces or turn twice when I really only wanted one. The drag feature doesn't seem to do much. The music fit the game well, and didn't become grating. I scored 343 points!

Well executed on the theme.
Consistent graphics, good responsive controls
Dragging seems useless, and it would be better if you could orbit/rotate the camera up/down to see blocks falling from above better.
Overall strong 4/5 performance.

I was terrible at the controls, but it's a fun idea and definitely fits the theme

I found the BRIGHT orange background quite straining. Controls were okay, they did the job. This fits the theme quite well and enjoyed the time I had here!

Great game. I think it would be easier to play if the camera rotated with the tank though instead of having its own rotation as at times it gets messy. Looks great anyway and nice audio, good job.

I love the art style and the controls work really well, but it's a little hard to control, but in a way that makes it challenging, not annoying. I like the chill music too.

This was a cool take on the theme. I like the art-style, simple but very effective. The mini-map in the corner was very handy inclusion too. Nice work! :)
