About Gunmach
Gunmach delivers an exhilarating side-scrolling shoot 'em up experience, blending classic arcade action with modern gameplay mechanics. As a player, you are thrust into the midst of intense tank warfare, where an impressive array of heavy artillery is at your disposal. Navigate through various challenging landscapes while encountering waves of adversarial tanks and planes intent on stopping you at all
The genre lives on precise aiming, ammunition or cooldown management and waves or levels that build up. Gunmach understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Under the surface it is a test of aim and target prioritisation, dressed up in tactical presentation.
How to play Gunmach
- Start by clicking the big play button. Gunmach loads inside the frame; give it a moment, especially on a slow connection.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. The developer describes the controls like this: Tank Battle is a side-scrolling shoot em up arcade action game at its best Use an incredible assortment of heavy artillery to blast away enemy tanks and planes and fight your way to victory What are you waiting for…
- Take a few practice shots at the first targets to learn the aim speed, then move on to prioritising the dangerous enemies.
- When you are comfortable, set a target: a score to beat, a level to clear or a time to shave. Small goals are what make Gunmach stick.

Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
- Because this is a Superhero game, powers usually have cooldowns — use them early so they recharge.
Who will enjoy it

Approachable at first, with a steep climb in the later waves. It is designed for desktop play with a keyboard and mouse.
