About the game

Neon Battlezone is a free browser tank game built out of glowing vector lines — wireframe hulls, a horizon grid and a radar sweep, in the tradition of the arcade cabinets that had no textures and didn't need them.

You drive a first-person tank across an open grid. Enemy tanks arrive in waves, the radar at the top of the screen shows what is closing in behind you, and somewhere out in the dark sits the enemy core — shielded, distance-marked, and the actual objective. Clearing a wave is worth +25 and buys you room to advance.

Your shield is the resource. It absorbs hits, it does not regenerate on its own, and the only way to top it up is to drive over the cyan cells scattered across the grid. That pulls you away from cover and toward wherever the cell happens to be, which is usually the wrong direction.

It runs on desktop and on phones, where on-screen pads replace the keyboard. Your best score is kept between sessions.

How to play

WATCH THE
RADAR.

01
The radar is not decoration
First-person means you cannot see behind you. The sweep at the top of the screen is your only warning that something has flanked you, and reading it is most of the skill.
02
Keep moving, but not blindly
A stationary tank is a target and a charging one runs into fire. Reversing out of a bad position is often better than turning, because turning shows a flank.
03
Shields cost you position
Cyan cells refill the shield but sit wherever they sit. Going for one means giving up ground, so take them when the wave is thin rather than when you are desperate.
04
The core is the objective
The distance readout counts down as you push forward. Waves keep coming while you close on it, so the game is a running argument between survival and progress.
