• 6 different enemy types + reconnaissance drone + boss enemy
• 5 different weapon types (shell, rocket barrage, mortar, laser + flamethrower) + radar scanner

• enemy behavior strategy depending on enemy type
• dynamic fog shading over complete battlefield
• health and quadruple-damage pickups with announcer voice
• pickups directional radar (blue)
• enemies directional radar (red), to speed up findings enemies which are still alive when no enemy is near

Tips

• you can pause the game with 'P'
• constant movement and using the environment is a key for success
• moving on roads is a big advantage when you're in trouble
• different enemies have different sight radius and different rate of fire
• enemy shells can be shot down, but laser, mortars, rockets and flamethrower not (of course)
• destroyed enemy hulls remain, but are destroyable as well if needed
• use the directional radar to be prepared for enemies, to locate distant enemies and to find pickups
• drones alert all enemies in a big area of your presence, so shooting them down should be a priority
• the boss starts new drones when the old ones are shot down
• flamethrowers even penetrate forests, so you're not safe behind if you're still near
• there are still some development cheats in the game - see if you can find them ;)

Known issues

• none atm :)
