About Tanker Defense
Pirates are attacking your oil tanker in Tanker Defense, and you have to steer the ship to safety while fighting them off with guns and grenade launchers. A run is a balance between staying on course and keeping the raiders away from the hull.
The creator says it was their first game, taken on as a fun small challenge, and describes RPG and simulation elements mixed in with the action. It is single-player, runs on Three.js, plays on a phone or a PC, and placed 508th of 945 in Vibe Jam 2026.
Shooting and ship handling compete for your attention the whole way. You aim at the raiders while keeping the tanker on course for safety, and neither job can wait for the other.
