This is what has been lacking. Scorched Earth was a great game to play in the office. Coworkers could take their turn whenever they had time. Through the years, I've searched occasionally for an updated version.

Thank you for this.




I have been working on a remake of Scorched Earth for a little while, that is modern but still faithful to the original.

I find myself playing it often, for a quick minute or two, just to release tension accumulated during the day :) Maybe you'll have some fun as well!

It doesn't need anything other than a browser to play, and you jump straight into action!

It's single player only unfortunately (yet) and the AI leaves quite a bit to be desired... But I'll get to it eventually!

Here are the instructions:

- You are always the red tank - Left/right arrow changes the firing angle - Up/down change the firing power - Pressing SHIFT and/or ALT performs the above faster or slower - Tab/shift-tab switches between weapons - Spacebar fires


You are welcome. It's pleasure for me to see when somebody likes it.

I am planning to keep adding more features, so if you are interested check github repo after while again. E.g. there will be definitely some way to increase radius of explosion in next release.
