What is Tankbreak?

Tankbreak is a free 3D aquatic action puzzle game. Break marked glass to ride currents, kick mines and crabs, charge turbines, and seal fractures before tank pressure runs out. Escape through five increasingly complex aquariums in the TLG-23 cassette on Recovered Shelf III.

Begin in Maintenance Bay and learn to ride water jets, move mines, power a turbine and seal the tank. Coral Gallery adds a crab anchor and another circuit. Sunken Conservatory introduces cargo docking. Abyssal Filterworks and The Grand Ocean add depth passages and multiple turbines. Complete each tank’s objectives, seal every fracture and restore at least 55 kPa to open the exit.

Swim with WASD or arrows and use Q / E to move deeper or nearer. Aim with the mouse, click or press F to crack glass, and right-click or press R to seal it. Space or Shift performs a dash kick. Phones use the game’s own swim stick and CRACK, SEAL, KICK and DEPTH buttons. Escape or the pause button opens the pause menu.

The normal game starts at aquarium one. Retries keep the current tank, and unlocked aquariums are saved in this browser for Continue and replay. Play inside The Lost Games framed player, choose fullscreen when wanted, or use Exit Home to return to shelf III. All models and gameplay assets load locally with no game account required.
