Project Overview

Tank Supremacy is a high-intensity 4v4 multiplayer mobile game developed for iOS and Android using Unity. Players engage in explosive tank warfare, customizing their vehicles and battling across diverse environments in real time. Designed for competitive team play and dynamic gameplay experiences, the project also features a special Deathmatch mode that supports up to 12 players during limited-time events.

Solution

The project architecture was built for scalability and performance across both platforms. Multiplayer functionality, progression tracking, and platform services were carefully integrated to create a seamless player experience:

• Firebase Realtime Database and Cloud Functions (Node.js) power backend logic for player progression, matchmaking support, and seasonal leaderboards.
• Firebase Remote Config allows live balancing and event updates without the need for app releases.
• Chat functionality is handled via Firebase, ensuring real-time communication in and out of matches.
• Unity Control Freak 2 and DoTween enhanced UI responsiveness and gameplay polish.
• Platform integrations like CloudOnce (iOS) and PlayGames + AppUpdate (Android) support cross-platform achievements and smooth update flow.

Gameplay emphasizes strategic team-based combat, but also includes the 12-player Deathmatch mode, offering chaotic and fast-paced action in special events. Visuals are supported by PBR effects, responsive controls, and immersive combat feedback.
