Devastation Net is a game about driving tanks and using them to blow up your friends.

Your tanks are dropped into an arena and you attempt to destroy each other with a variety of weapons. Your goal is to be the last tank still working. If you fail, and get destroyed, you do not get to respawn – but you do get to launch bombs from space at the remaining players.

Every six rounds you can buy new ammunition, new tanks, new bombs, and other upgrades. You'll have to figure out what the most effective loadout will be based on your current tank, your opponents, and your favorite play style. Want to stay at range and snipe? Lasers and weapon upgrades. Prefer to wade into big fights and blow things up? Heavy armor, missile launchers. Or maybe you'd prefer autocannons, EMP blasts, landmines, or some of the more esoteric weapons available.

And then you go back to combat, when you discover whether you've out-thought your opponents or vice-versa . . . and whether you've bought enough ammo.

This game is a multiplayer game. Like Super Smash Brothers or Cortex Command it's meant to be played with friends and against friends. At the moment, this means you'll need to get a bunch of friends to your house, ideally set up a projector, and plug in a bunch of game controllers. Eventually I will be adding good AI and probably network play.
