Introducing Tank Maniacs – a couch party game with tanks for everyone out there who’s into couches AND tanks!

Press release:
Hungarian developer Gamelab has made a FREE DEMO of “Tank Maniacs” available on Steam. Featuring 10 different tanks, 3 distinct maps and the “Last Tank Standing” game mode, the Tank Maniacs demo be available November 5 – 17.

A special controller app is available in beta for iOS and Android so that users of both desktop and mobile platforms can play simultaneously – minimizing the need for multiple PC-compatible gamepads. There’s also a Twitch extension with in-game voting in the works.

ABOUT TANK MANIACS
Tank Maniacs is an award-winning, fast-paced local multiplayer party game featuring wonderfully weird tanks, fun characters, and friendship-destroying battles – if you’re doing it right, at least.

After a year of development, the devs can’t wait to get some feedback on the impending carnage during the free demo period!

Although Tank Maniacs is primarily a local couch party game, it’s possible to play over the Internet through Steam’s Remote Play Together feature. When a new game is launched, the host can send invites via Steam Overlay.

(Players need to already be friends on Steam, of course.) Once everyone’s in, voice chat will be automatically enabled.

This demo is just a small taste of what Tank Maniacs will have on offer once it launches later this year. During the demo period, Gamelab will be updating the game regularly with new maps and other awesome features to keep everyone on their toes.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
Based in Budapest and founded in 2014 by István Kolbert, Csaba Marosi and Balázs Sabransky, Gamelab was born out of a shared unwavering passion for game development.

When the team was brought together for a project that couldn’t be further from game development, they had to convince management that their innovative ideas would be best used in high-quality indie games.

This talented team of misfits soon embarked on their first title, hand-drawn runner Wormster Dash – and the rest is history! Gamelab is home to those who don’t belong – where games are born out of game jams, and the development is all about having fun both inside and OUTSIDE of the game.
