Bubble Tanks II

Bubble Tanks II is an atmospheric and addictive Flash arena shooter developed by Hero Interactive and released by Armor Games in 2009. As a follow-up to the original cult hit, this sequel expands everything—more tanks, more bubbles, more enemies, and much deeper customization. You pilot a bubble-based tank, grow by collecting enemy bubbles, and evolve into powerful new forms with increasingly devastating weaponry. It’s floaty, fast, and full of satisfying upgrades.

How to play Bubble Tanks II

Game Objective

Your mission is to explore an interconnected network of bubble “rooms,” destroy enemy tanks, and collect the bubbles they drop. These bubbles serve as experience points that help your tank evolve through 26 upgrade stages. The bigger and stronger your tank becomes, the more devastating your arsenal—but beware: tougher enemies await as you grow!
