Cardboard Tank is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Cardboard Tank is a brown tank composed of several segments of cardboard, presumably pizza boxes based on their rectangular nature. It has two large, round eyes that bulge outwards over its barrel, and three pizza-like wheels. Cheese can be seen dripping out of its sides, and it has a hatch on its top that is capable of opening and closing, however this cannot be seen in game.

Behavior

Cardboard Tank stands in place and fires homing missiles at the player, which can blow away any Stupid Rats blocking the player's path. The missiles can also be destroyed by a shotgun blast. It is unable to be scared.

Trivia

• Before the April 2021 Build, Cardboard Tank couldn't be grabbed.
  • It also originally had 8 hit points and fired cheese spikes, similar to that of Spit Cheese, instead of homing missiles.
• A trashed Cardboard Tank can be seen in one of the backgrounds for WAR.
• Cardboard Tank's Heat Meter attack was charging at the player, flattening them if caught.
• In April 2021 Build, when the player defeats a Cardboard Tank, 3 Cheeseslimes will come out of it.
• In the Eggplant build, it used Spit Cheese's defeat sprite as a placeholder.
• There's an object leftover from the Rework Build which is similar to the Cardboard Tank that is called "obj_tank". It moves around and fires cannonballs rather than homing missiles. When defeated, it would spawn 3 Cheeseslimes, similar to the old behavior of the Cardboard Tank.
