Tank Rider is back on the internet!

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 20:30:04 +0100

With the Google Play and web versions lost due to reasons I’ve already talked about in this DML 2.X GitHub issue, the only available version of Tank Rider was the slightly outdated Android build on IndieDB (and the sketchy modded APK ones…).

I wanted to preserve the game, so I’ve dusted off its sourcecode and made one last update:

▶

This small update (0.95b) includes:

Updated the Unity engine from 2020.3.40f1 to 6000.3.3f1, which fixes a vulnerability in the Unity engine.
Removed links, as they were crashing the browser version of the game when clicked. I didn’t bother investigating further, given that you’re already on my website if you’re playing it…
You can now just hold LMB instead of spamming it.
Removed all actions linked to rewarded ads (daily reward, continue, double money, etc…).
Removed leaderboards, as I’m no longer on Google Play, and the open-php-leaderboard project I was working on never saw the light of day.
Unlinked project from unity dashboard (should no longer ping unity server).

A bit of history about the game

Tank Rider (originally named Tank Rampage, but later changed due to an unrelated game with the same name releasing around the same time) is an endless shoot ’em up with a nostalgic, retro look, made for Android and browser (WebGL).

Help shape DML 3.X - Share your ideas!

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 19:00:00 +0200

I’m excited to announce that development for DML 3.X has officially started!

The name DML 3.X is a work-in-progress title I’ve used for years, due to this project originally intended to be “just” the next-gen version of DML 2.X.

Now that development has officially begun, the project has grown beyond that scope, becoming something more advanced and ambitious. Because of this, the name will change to better reflect its new direction.

Ghost Wad v1.0

Sat, 07 Jan 2023 22:08:49 +0200

ghost.wad is a small, but action-packed, custom level I made for vanilla Doom II.
The wad name was choosen due to its main gimmick: Ghost Monsters I started making this as an experiment as I haven’t built a single vanilla doom map since like 2010, when I made my first doom mod ever (sadly lost forever, as I had accidentaly overwritten it…).

This wad was featured in Round #06 of Decino’s viewer submissions! In the pinned comment on the video you can find more info about specific part of the map.
