Bubble Tanks 3

Bubble Tanks 3

Bubble Tanks 3 is an action-shooter Flash game, the sequel to Bubble Tanks 2, and the threequel to Bubble Tanks. It is the immediate successor, in release date, to Bubble Tanks TD 1.5. It has mixed reviews, with some saying that it is worse than BT2, and some saying it is better. Generally, it is regarded as a significant improvement from its predecessor. BT3 was released in December 2010, and included the sale of the first Parts Pack. Parts Packs are essentially a bonus package of weapons and features that you can buy for $5 each (Hero Interactive holds special deals every once in a while). However, since Parts Pack 2, all Parts Packs (and, consequentially, BT3 updates) have been discontinued due to lack of proper revenue to fund these updates and parts packs development.

As of August 1, 2017, Bubble Tanks 3 is no longer playable; however, a downloadable mirror can be found here.

You can also play it if you only select Local Tanks to be generated

Story

As with all other Bubble Tanks games, there is no true plot. But one can surmise that the obvious point of the game is to grow and use your enemies' bubbles to fuel your growth. It is an improvement from BT2, in that it now allows you to customize your tank as you progress along the evolutionary line. (although there are no longer the whole "Fighter", "Heavy", etc. classifications) Your main objective is to grow to the max, and fight the boss to win the game.

Trivia

A custom tank (close to levelup) with 2 Beam Cannons blasts a target.

• This game has been downrated because of the large glitches that the developers have been accused of not fixing. However, these bugs didn't prevent BT3 from gaining much approval.
• In the BT3 teaser video, there is a small tank equipped with a Bubble Thrower and an Ally Bay of some sort, releasing an unknown type of ally. This is now impossible, since allies can only be fitted onto Class 4 tanks or higher.
• The description of the Bubble Thrower cuts off at the end, probably because of a character limit in the description.
• Even though there are slots for six parts packs, only two were ever released.
