ThinkTanks is a fast, cartoony tank-combat game, first released in 2003 by BraveTree Productions and GarageGames. ThinkTanks Online brought it to InstantAction, GarageGames’ platform for playing full 3D games in the browser, as one of the platform’s launch games in 2008.

Light, medium, and heavy tanks battle across rolling hills, lava fields, and night maps.

My Role

As game director and lead designer, I updated the design of the original ThinkTanks: rebalancing the tanks, reworking the game modes, and building new levels, while working with the art and code teams to ship the game.

The Tanks
