Tanks of the Galaxy is one of the racing games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Tanks of the Galaxy is about speed, lines and nerve. You are behind the wheel, the track is in front of you, and the only question is how much throttle you dare to hold.

Tips and tricks
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- If the game has upgrades, put the first ones into handling or brakes rather than top speed — control wins more races than raw power at the beginning.
- Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
- Slow in, fast out. Entering a corner a little slower lets you accelerate earlier on the exit, which almost always beats a hard, late braking approach.
