At the start of Go Go Tank , a peaceful nation has been invaded by an enemy army, and you must help clear the way for your own forces by plane. Your goal is to guide your tank to the end of each stage.
As you progress through the game, you'll need to arrange boxes with a hook attached to the bottom of your plane to reach higher ground, while also shooting enemy planes and batteries that threaten it. The tank will roll forward on its own and climb up single-block walls – anything taller and it will crash into it.
The gameplay involves avoiding damage to your tank, as it will be destroyed if it takes too much harm. You have a limited number of planes, so losing one means you'll lose progress in the game. However, there are special items available to help you on your way, including a power hook that allows direct transport of the tank, a bomb that can destroy all enemies on the screen, and an option that enables a second plane to follow yours and mimic your actions.
Go Go Tank features ten stages, plus a 2-player cooperative mode when played via link cable for two planes.
