Tanked Slot by Nolimit City

Four warlord characters do the work that paylines usually do. Each one is colour-coded, drops at a random spot on the 6x6 starting grid, and moves on its own one step at a time, up, down, left or right, collecting matching-colour symbols and any Wilds in its path. Diagonals are off the table. A character keeps moving until there's nothing eligible next to it, then the next character takes a turn. Wins resolve as the characters collect, not in a separate evaluation pass.

Two side mechanics tilt the math. Multipliers picked up by any character apply to every win on screen and they're additive, so x2 collected by red and x3 collected by blue stack into x5, not x6. Each character also carries three lives. Tank Boosters, xBombs and Barrel Bombs hit them with explosion patterns, and a character at zero lives gets cleared off the board until the next evaluation. The four Boosters are the layered part of the base game: a Rocket fires at a random rival and blows out a wall (which is how the grid expands, from 6x6 up through 8x6, 8x8, 9x8 and finally 9x9), a Grenade clears a patterned area, a Power Drill chases the largest colour cluster on the board and rips through it, and an Airstrike hits up to three rivals at once. If three or four characters get stuck next to each other with nothing to collect, they detonate themselves in a Small Boom or Big Boom.

Three Bonus symbols award five Carnage Spins, with multipliers, kill count and any grid expansion carrying over from the base round. Four Bonus symbols upgrade to seven Carnage Royale spins on a pre-set 9x9 board with +5 added on top of the current multiplier. If every character dies in a single explosion during free spins, the round flips into Mayhem Spins where everyone has one life left, and a repeat wipe stacks +1 spin and +10 multiplier each time. The Bet Booster menu sells a 3x stake that quadruples your bonus odds and a 40x stake that drops four Boosters straight onto the characters, while direct entries to Carnage, Carnage Royale and Mayhem sit alongside Lucky Draw and the headline 5,000x God Mode, which guarantees a chase at the MAX WIN tile.

That MAX WIN tile is the 25,000x ceiling in physical form. It's a 3x3 oversized symbol, and the whole thing has to land complete inside the reel area for the payout to trigger. The art is the most casual-looking thing in the studio's recent catalog: a bombed-out battlefield in olive green and ash grey, cartoon tank commanders with helmets and angry expressions, paying tiles shaped like coloured hex gems and ammo boxes, walls that crack when a Rocket connects. Closer to a turn-based mobile war game than a reel slot. The sequel Tanked 3: First Blood 2 pushes the cap to 25,584x with a Rambo overhaul, but this first entry keeps the engine simpler.
