Best game all year every year. Totally not said with any sort of bias.

i didnt figure out where the actual advent was or anything but i ran around as tiny pico and went fishing :D best game ever

I know i'm a bit late...but i must say i loved 2025 Tankmass, the exploration from a Snow Globe, the opening being like a book with illustrations, being able to communicate with emoticons, throwing snow balls, the fishing (which by the way i had lots of mix feelings about it because i was spending lots of time trying to capture P-Bot's body parts and the last one i was trying to catch was his head and by some miracle during the last day of December i finally got it), the pinguin race and the option to make our costume sprites and gift them back as well was a pretty fun experience and honestly i can't wait what will Tankmas 2026 will get us, until then, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a safe Happy New Year.

Well... Tankmas is over until next December. I always wait until the event finishes before writing a review.

In my opinion, this must be among the best Tankmas so far... I always look forward to it and I love how the whole community gets behind it and this was no exception. The interactive props were a fantastic touch: the fireworks, the snowball fighting, the evil snowmen, the fire... The music was great (my favourite ones were <Gifts> and Snowflakes on my Stereo). The art pieces selected were great too (some were 5 stars worthy) and the pixelated style for the overall game was fantastic. The work on the sprites and the backgrounds was awesome. Having the possibility of creating your own skins was amazing, really. And the fact that you opened up those supporter medals to everyone was also a very kind decision. The same with most of the minigames, which were really fun (I've spent more time than I'm willing to admit fishing and I simply can't recover P-bot's body).

But... here's where I feel some things could've been better. For example, the penguin race felt quite inconsequential... There wasn't much the players could do to influence the race (at least, when I won the medal). The story was such a nice hook, but ended diluted into nothing, because it was never followed. Maybe some sort of wrapping up would've been nice, perhaps tied to that story or a sign or a special piece of art, a comic, something. It simply ended, just like that. And the arcade felt a little empty... I'm no programmer, but maybe there's a way to bring back some of the games from previous editions, even without medals, just to have more options there. Finally, I missed having at least one of those fantastic rhyming stories that were present in previous editions.

And that's it. I loved every second of it. I'm gonna keep trying to fish that pesky robot body.

I wanna thank everyone involved for doing something so enjoyable and to bring the whole community together. :)

PD: Merry (belated) Christmas! And Happy New Year! And, last but not least, happy Tankmas for all!

Edit: @larrynachos Damn, I missed it even though I went around the whole map. What a pity...

Now at the end, I can't express how awesome this was. Fun mini-games, great music, great art, good vibes all around. Everyone did an amazing job on every level.

Thanks for letting me to the Intro and Outro music and Happy New Years!
