Shot Out!

Survive as many waves as you can.

The game

You're a lone tank holding a line against endless waves of enemy armor. Waves are hand-tuned through wave 15 — tanks, fast infantry, ramming trucks, and strafing planes — then the mix repeats. There's no final wave to win; the run ends only when you're destroyed.

There's no separate turret — the hull is the gun. Turn to aim, then fire. Water is impassable and shells fly over it; trees are real cover that blocks an enemy's line of sight. You start with 6 hearts and a standard hit costs half of one, but the longer you survive the tougher you get: max HP grows a little every few waves, up to 12.

Get low enough and help arrives: a friendly plane occasionally airdrops a heart to heal, and at 2 hearts or less a reinforcement infantry soldier fights alongside you until the field clears.

Clear wave 15 and something is waiting at wave 16 — best discovered blind.

Every run ends on a results screen with the wave you reached, a commendation tier, and the local top-5 high-score table.
