About This Game

Deflection is the game.

Glass Tanks is a top-down arena shooter where the smart shot is rarely the direct one. Fire a shell, bank it off a wall, and catch someone from an angle they didn't see coming. One hit ends any tank — yours included. It's funnier when it's yours.

Bring a friend, or don't

Co-op is the best way to play — two tanks, one shared pool of lives, one partner to blame when it goes wrong. Solo works fine too, if you'd rather not have witnesses.

Ten tanks, zero mercy

Every enemy has its own color and its own bad attitude — one just sits there sniping you from two walls away, one charges like it's personal, one is completely invisible until it moves or shoots. Learn the palette and you can read a room right before it kills you.

Made for the couch

Controller-first, built to read from across the room, happiest with a gamepad in each hand. Mouse and keyboard work fine too, if you're feeling responsible. Climb the high score board, put your initials on it, and lie about how you got there.
