What is DDTank?

DDTank is a 2D turn based MMO shooter. Players must hit opponents across the map by aiming and correctly angling their shots. DDTank has the same gameplay mechanics as the classic ‘worms’, but adds RPG elements. There is a wide variety of weapons to use, item buffs to acquire, and other equipment to earn.

DDTank is very similar to Gunbound, but runs right on a browser window. With no need to download or install any files, DDTank is very accessible and casual friendly. Gameplay is easy to learn, but difficult to master. Players must align their shots properly by taking into account angles, elevation, wind velocity, and other factors. There are multiple game modes, and plenty of different weapon types to use in DDTank. The game also provides players with tasks to complete which give the game direction. DDTank has two fighting modes: Adventure and Sports and provides plenty of other community activities when you don't feel like fighting!

Creating your first character:

After successfully logging in to the game for the first time, you will be able to select your character's gender and create their name. Be careful when choosing the future of your avatar as you can not change your gender and changing your character's name can be very expensive!

Also note that you can not use certain special characters or spaces when creating your character's name and that simple names are the easiest to remember and for other players to whisper. Be careful not to select a name that could be interpreted as inappropriate or you may find your name changed by a GM or your account blocked.

You may not have the letters GM or GS at the beginning of your name as these letters are used to identify Game Masters and Game Sages and may result in your account being blocked until your name is changed.

Mastering The Basics

The most important thing to strategy and tactics? Knowing the basics and knowing them like they're second nature!

As a player heading into the territory of advanced tactics, you need to know the basics without having to think about them. If you try and step up your strategy without having a firm grasp of how the controls or functions work, these tactics will likely seem very difficult. Instead of jumping right a head, and take a second to review the basic functions until you're sure you can do them without much thought.


Angle and Movement:

and - These keys adjust your shooting angle.
and - These keys move you left and right (and also adjust which side you shoot toward, of course!)


Power Meter:

The power meter displays the intensity and power behind your shot. The longer you hold down the space bar, the further your shot will travel. Use the ruler displayed on the power meter to help guide how much intensity you need for the advanced tactics!


Teleport aka Paper Airplane:

As you become a more advanced player, you'll learn quickly that getting the upper hand in a match isn't always about who's got more levels or better gear - it's about strategic placement and using your noggin!

So, what can you do when your health is dangerously low? Use the airplane to teleport to a safer place. Your enemy hiding behind a thick wall, or in an angle that makes it difficult to shoot? Teleport to a better vantage point. Use the fact that you can move great distances with the airplane to your benefit!
