## Review summary

Mini Tanks offers enjoyable gameplay with various enemies and customization options in a low size package, evoking nostalgia similar to Wii Tanks. However, multiple users find the control scheme frustrating and difficult to use. The app forces internet connection to show frequent ads and repeatedly asks for Google Play Games login, which annoys players. Additionally, the game sometimes lags after kills and progression across levels can be slow and repetitive, detracting from the overall experience.

### Cons

- Annoying frequent ads and forced internet connection to display them
- Poor and frustrating control scheme making movement difficult
- Repeated prompts to log in with Google Play Games
