Supposed that you drive a Tank , your goal is to reach your base (the Flag), thus you have to preserve your fuel (Moves) and your munitions (Shots)You try to use the least quantity possible of each one.But what is most important ? Out of munitions or out of gaz.(Without munitions, it is possible to reach a goal, but without fuel you have to walk)In this game, we have decided this :A level solved with the smallest number of moves is better,then if two High scores have the same amounts of moves,the smallest number of shots is better.Donald
