I wish there was a way to play again after you die without having to quit and reload. At least that's what happens on my mac. It would be good also if you could block the enemy's bullets as you shoot!
1) Sometimes a bullet will bounce rather than destroying the enemy. This happens if a contact is made then released in the same tick. I've corrected it, but obviously too late for the competition.
2) It really does need a score, and the ability to play again after death.
Interesting...it seems a bit plain right now with out a score counter / goal, but looks-wise, I really like it! A little Tron-esque. If you capitalized on this (the look/feel) and added more features, I'd definitely give it another go!
I'm a sucker for vector vehicles and tanks. I just wish it had a way to restart quickly and maybe if the enemy tanks scrolled onto the playfield rather than popping into existence.
There's a solid base here for a more fleshed-out tank combat game. Your motion and controls are absolutely on-point. The only thing that's missing really is a mission beyond just shooting down the randomly spawning enemy tanks.
You know, maybe you should make this a more open-world type game where you take your tank around and try to find / rescue / destroy targets? Maybe add some extra considerations like barrel overheating, fuel, terrain?
the tank physics and firing controls are actually pretty good, reminds me in some ways of combat on the 2600. there's not much of a game here though since it doesnt even keep score. The controls are absoulutely perfect though, a fully developed game with tank physics like this could be quite fun.
The game actually felt quite nice. Maybe a bit unoriginal but the controls responded nicely. A way to tell which is the front and which is the back of your tank would have been nice.

I think the same that azurenimbus about the reload. :)

nice and simple game. Interesting how you can shoot the bullets to prevent them from hitting you.
In any case, I enjoyed it. Cheers!

Its a great start, but is very unfinished.
What others said applies: A bit boring, needs more content, score counter and restart ability.
I think you needed more time. I think this is a good candidate for post-compo work.
Nice one!
