BATTLE CITY · CHALLENGE OF 2026-11-09

HOW THE DAY WENT

Monday, November 9 brought BATTLE CITY, at level 5, and 4 people played.

ADRIAN won by a street with 2,200 points, 1,900 more than POLINOMIOS in second. ELI rounds out the podium with 0.

THE SCREEN

Clearing the first screen leads on to the rest, in an order that depends on the day. The same seed for everyone: the same enemies and pieces in the same order.

THE MUSIC

The theme that opens the sonata which ends with the Turkish March: a calm melody in A major followed by six variations.

Public domain, as square- and triangle-wave chiptune.

ABOUT TODAY'S GAME

You defend your base from endless waves of tanks. Brick breaks to gunfire (yours included), steel does not, and water stops tanks while letting bullets through. Three tank types: basic grey, fast white from wave 2 and heavy green from wave 3, which takes three bullets. Most head straight for the base, shooting their way in. Bumping into another tank does no harm: it just blocks you.

• You lose the same whether they kill you or the base. And the base does not respawn: when in doubt between chasing a tank and going home, go home.
