Space Tanking Tentacles

Simple games are often the most fun!

This is a wonderfully addictive retro-inspired arcade game which places you in control of a tank that is defending against spawning aliens from Tentacalia. 

As time passes the game gets progressively harder and you find yourself in a balance between conserving your gun charge and self-preservation. Keep an eye out for the Portal Anomalies because you are going to need them if you are to survive.

Cephaclons arrive in the game when you kill too many enemies. They take a lot of fire before dying and fling bulbs of acid at you. When you get a few of these spawned at the same time you are in a world of hurt.

You only have 3 lives - as is standard with arcades - so the game does not last too long.
