Feel free to tattoo &#8216;I Love Gratuitous Tank Battles&#8217; On your head and run through the streets. Or failing that, just tell some friends about the game :D.<\/p>\n<p>Currently the game is only available to buy direct from little-old-me, but phear not. You get a download link that should last forever (email me if it ever dies), and as a special 2012 bonus, <strong>you will get steam-keys when the game is released on steam<\/strong> later on (when it&#8217;s out of beta). I have no doubt it will be released on other portals too.<\/p>\n<p>Get it here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gratuitoustankbattles.com\/\">http:\/\/www.gratuitoustankbattles.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Be aware that this is a BETA game. That means not 100% polished, not 100% balanced, not 100% optimised. It *may* have some technical issues on some PC&#8217;s (although I suspect not), and it may need some balancing and gameplay tweaking before final release. If you are wary of buying beta games, then just enjoy the video and wait a while :D.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your thoughts, share them here in the comments, or at the GTB forums over at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/positech.co.uk\/forums\/phpBB3\/\">http:\/\/positech.co.uk\/forums\/phpBB3\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This game feels like its taken a billion lines of code and a hundred years to make. I am so badly in need of a day off. Hopefully, people will like it, and it will have been worth it. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so it&#8217;s finally here!
