3. Single-Player Mode



Also known as story Mode, this part of Tank Invasion! is for one player.  You must progress through
each level as quickly as possible in order to recieve an ending rank.  The faster the game is completed,
the better your ending will be.

The face in the upper-left-hand corner shows your current health (the highest is 10).  When you get hit,
the condition of the face will decrease.  When it looks like a skull, you can only take one more hit, and
then you must restart the level.  Falling down a cliff will force you to restart a level as well.  You
recieve damage from touching enemy fire or enemies.

The goal of each level is to touch the END blocks from any side.  Some levels, however, are boss fights
and you must destroy the boss with shots from your cannon before going on to the next level.  There is
also a time limit in the final level, and if you do not reach the end in time, you will have to restart
the level.

You will notice there are no lives in this game.  It is much too hard for that.

To quit the mode, simply click on the X box of the window.



4. Versus Mode



You can battle a friend in Tank Invasion!'s multiplayer mode.  There are four maps to choose from when
you enter the mode.  Simply press the numbers on the screen to choose a map or Escape to go back to the
main menu.

The goal of Versus Mode is to destroy your opponent with your rockets.  However, you cannot change 
direction, and your ammunition is not infinite.  Each player's health and ammo are displayed as bars
at the top of the screen.  Every three seconds, you get another rocket, but you cannot get more
than ten.

When you go off of one side of the screen, you come out of the other.  This is true for leaving the
bottom as well.

Player one (the gray tank) begins the game on the left side.  Player two (the gold tank) begins the game
on the right side.

After ten rocket hits, a tank is destroyed.  Then, press either Enter or Escape to play again or return
to the main menu.



5. Hints and Tips



Tank Invasion!  is a very hard game.  If you ever need help, feel free to e-mail me at:

In the meantime, here are some general tips:

-Grab Med-packs whenever possible!  They restore your health by 5 points.
-Can't get past walls in Level 3?  Try shooting them.
-Don't bother trying to hurt the giant green cannon.  Aim for the guy controlling it!  To dodge its
 missiles, just keep moving and jumping in a pattern.
-Yellow blocks move back and forth, but you must move with them in order to stay on top of them.
-If you can beat the game, you will be able to see who has been driving the tank...  but you get to see
 even more if you can beat it faster.
