A soft gel and a hard tank.
Two things combine to make a 'Gel tank'!
Does anyone remember the cool enemy dialogue that would play over the platforming in Revenge of Meta Knight from Kirby Super Star? Does anyone want a run and gun with a consistent enemy cast that chew the fat while you play through stages? If so, Gel-Tank is a delightful if somewhat derivative 4 (it was actually 8 according to Steam) hours romp. The fundamentals here are fine if somewhat unpolished, I had consistent controls issues and there was a nasty softlock that made me reply a late game stage two times, but I really got a kick out of the great lengths the devs went to in order to characterize your one man response to an occupying force. Like there's one stage where you, a slime in a tank, have to momentarily abandon your tank form to climb a sheer cliff while enemy helicopters try to destroy you. its a fun bit of gameplay but there's this funny little vignette happening alongside it where the baddies are convinced that you've fallen into their trap and this time they'll defeat you but then there's an awkward silence when you reach the top unscathed. And when you beat a stage you can just chat with the inhabitants of that environment you just liberated. It's cute! A little sprinkle of novelty that goes a long way towards making the experience so charming. This one really punched above its weight.
