I just finished the first build of my tank along with a kind of "demo" level to test it on, which includes the tank's 1st build in a prize bubble at the end of the stage. Keep in mind that I will be improving upon the tank to make it easier to use, more reliable, etc. But for now, I'd like to show you guys how it works right now.

Sorry for the low quality image. =[
How to Use the Tank:
To enter the tank, step into the lift and you will be lowered into the tank. From there you can do four things:
1) Move forward - move to the 1st plane (closest to you) and grab the right wall.
2) Move backward - grab the left wall (this can be done in any plane).
3) Fire the main weapon - move to the 3rd plane (farthest from you) and grab the right wall.
Holding on to the firing wall, the tank will fire 1 shell every .5 seconds. So holding the firing wall can cause a lot of devastation.
4) Fire the machine gun - moving to the middle plane and grabbing the right wall will activate the machine gun.
To exit the tank, jump up and grab the ceiling and the lift will raise. Then, simply swing to the left or right to exit.
Known Bugs/Glitches:
-[FIXED]Occasionally, the bullets from the machine gun will bounce back and kill you and the sponge you're holding, which causes it to fire nonstop since the switch is no longer there.
-Sometimes the reverse function doesn't work. This is very infrequent, as I've only had it happen to me twice. I'll be working on this since it can be a pain and the tank can get stuck.
-Retro-rockets launch tank into air, breaking wheels upon impact.
If you come across any more glitches, please let me know and I'll look into fixing them as best as I can.
That's basically it. If you want to try the tank, the level is called Tank Demo or you could search for my PSN: Cloud7654. If you still can't find it, send me a friend request and I'll be happy to add you. Be sure to let me know what you think and what you think needs improvement.
