“Indie dev Lead Money Games knows ‘90s arcades inside and out, and the result is this glorious shoot ’em up with impeccable pixel graphics, animation, and music.”


“Everything summed up, Lil Tanks is a beautifully crafted reimagination of the shoot ’em ups of old. Everything from its charming old school animations to the fabulously tortuous difficulty is exactly what fans of the genre love.”
