The goal

SimpleTanks puts you in control of a lone tank facing off against waves of fearsome flying Skulls. Your mission is straightforward: eliminate all enemies before they overwhelm you.

When your bullet hits a Skull, it’s defeated, but beware: each time a Skull reaches your tank, you lose one of your three lives. 

Keep an eye on the HUD for your score, remaining lives, and the number of enemies left to conquer. A total of 66 liches will spawn over time, with up to 5 lurking on-screen simultaneously, and new enemies appear as you clear the field.

Defeat all enemies to achieve victory, or be defeated in this thrilling battle of skill and survival!

Cannot get it to run in GameBoyAdvance emulator?

I've tested the game on the VisualBoyAdvance emulator (for Game Boy Advance) and it works really well. However, please note that the game is designed for the Original GameBoy Classic, so it might not be fully compatible with other emulators like the Game Boy Advance one. If you're using a different emulator or hardware, it might help to try one that's more specific to the GameBoy Classic, like BGB or Emulicious, for better results.

I had to change the emulator setting from GB Color to GB. Works fine now. Thank you!
