@ACRking_ACRking Alas, the Amazon Store is totally different than the Google Play store, so there’s a lot of extra testing. Plus we made little money on Amazon Store, so could not afford to buy new Kindles to test on. Store must sell to justify testing efforts.

Am I the only one completely amazed that we have new weapons?

Didn't even think it was possible. Last pack came out in 2014! And looks like more are on the way for 2020 according to the bulletin board.

@ynohtnacf @BlitWise @dzoeller That is exactly right... we write Pocket Tanks in C/C++, and it’s work to support each platform. But even more so, I need to buy tons of devices and invest heavily in testing. But to our credit, we have been supporting the most popular platforms for almost 20 year’s now. :)

@ynohtnacf @BlitWise It was a tough decision to pull Pocket Tanks from both the Windows Store and the Amazon “Kindle” Store, but we can’t afford to test on platforms that make little money. Steam for PC is our next goal, and we are excited about that.

He was using one of the new “puzzle pack” weapons so being a beta tester is the only way to obtain those weapons right now correct?

NGC 3887 is one of many galaxies in our universe with spiral arms, just like our own Milky Way. Until the 1960s, the behavior of spiral arms was an astronomical puzzle.
