What makes a good shooting game? Usually waves or levels that build up, satisfying hit feedback and precise aiming — and Clanker.io has each of them in some measure.

Tips and tricks
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Because this is a Pixel game, pixel games often have very precise hitboxes — trust the sprite edges.
- Because this is a Robot game, upgrades usually stack — save for the ones that multiply.
