Hi!, eight months ago 3 friends and I decided to try to make our first desktop commercial game, a small arcade game with a funny local multiplayer element in mind. Something like the arcade games of the good old times.

Tankr is an top-down Arcade game for PC (Windows, Mac and Linux) developed by Mighty Toast Studio.

Play with or against your friends in frenzy local multiplayer battles plenty of powerups, ricochet bullets and explosions in dozens of levels or design your own battlegrounds!

Gameplay
Tankr is inspired by the classics of the arcade era. Up to four players can play together against the IA in any of the five campaings of increasing difficulty; the game offers over one hundred stages. Players also can take free-for-all battles to know who is the best in a selection of battlegrounds, or being able to design new ones thanks to the built-in Map Editor.

The gameplay focuses in ricochet shoots to destroy your enemies by surprise at the same time that you tries dodge the foe’s bullets and explosions. We added some spicy to the game with power-ups that improves your tank (like speed up or shields), the main weapon (more bullets or ricochets) and secondary weapons (like rockets, mines or explosive drones).

Others elements of the game are the type of terrain that influence the speed of the tanks or the visibility. Also, the enemies have different weapons, statistics and behaviors too.

Development
This isn’t our first game, we have developed some small games for past global and local Game Jams like this or this, but without a place to work together and that two of our four members can only work in their free time, this game is a challenge for us.

The game is developed in Unity and our team is mainly programmer sided, but that will not prevent us for finish a cool game!

The game is now in the beta phase of the gameplay (besides the testing, right now we only need to adjust the enemies and the stage layouts of the campaign) and late-alpha of the map editor. We are aiming for a summer release, but before setting a date we want to try a (small scale) crowdfunding to polish more the visuals, the music and the gameplay (with special/boss levels and online support). So the game could be delayed a bit if the crowdfunding is well received.

Media
Here are some screenshots and a trailer of the current version.

We have arrived to the last few days of the crowdfunding campaign for Tankr, and the hard reality has been imposed on us. We failed to get the attention of enough people to initiate a new phase of Tankr’s development and of our studio too. We have some cool ideas that are impossible to develop at this point.

The good side is that we learned a lot during this month, and most important, Tankr doesn’t end here. As we said in the campaign, the core of the game is finished and has lots of content, so we will continue to work on it from our studio to fine-tune it and share it with more people until we succeed on Steam’s Greenlit.

We encourage you to contact us at info(at)mightytoast(dot)net and twitter’s (at)mtoaststudio and Steam We’ll continue to share the development of Tankr here too.

Lastly, but most important, thank you all for your continued support and for believing in our game. Thanks so much!
