Multiplayer tanks that demolish real buildings from OpenStreetMap

By · Published by Everything Blog

In short

The title brings competitive tank battles into real-world geographic settings derived from OpenStreetMap data. While defending territory, players can level actual mapped structures, which remain permanently destroyed for all participants sharing the session. Users can spray selected emojis onto the remaining rubble and control their vehicles using either traditional keyboard inputs or tap-based navigation. Those eliminated in combat must wait out a five-minute respawn timer, which continues to tick down even if they exit the session.
