Bubble Tank is a top-down, arcade-style survival shooter that pits you against wave after wave of giant bugs seeking your destruction. Shoot a bug with your bubble turret to capture it, then pop the bubble to exterminate the bug before it can get free again. You can shoot small bubbles quickly, but you will need to charge your turret to make large enough bubbles to capture bigger bugs:

​

  • Fleas (small): One is relatively harmless, but they swarm in large numbers. They move mindlessly, so they can easily be avoided.

  • Ants (medium): Organized and focused, ants will seek you out and destroy you like the intruder that you are.

  • Spiders (large): Spiders are huge, and they shoot webbing that will slow your tank down.

​

The waves become bigger as the game progresses, so you will have to aim well and maneuver quickly to stay alive. Items will drop that can help keep you alive:

​

  • Wrench: Repairs damages to your tank.

  • Bubble Fluid: Keep your turret stocked. If you run out, RUN!

  • Bubboom: A bubble so big that the force of its “pop” eradicates the entire current wave of bugs.

​

The bugs will take you down eventually, but your score will rise for every bug you take down with you.
