Turn your phone or tablet into a full-blown touch controller for Tank Maniacs!

We have realised that not everyone has four gamepads at home. Or not even one, and may not even be at home when the opportunity comes to play a party game with friends! But as we all know since last November: gamers have phones! This is why we have developed a controller application for our couch party game. Download "TANK MANIACS CONTROLLER to your phone and you will have your controller with you, anywhere you go, anytime you are up for a game!
Of course, the app wont completely replace an ergonomic gamepad and since it is network-based there is a slight input lag. We have tested it at office and gaming event conditions and we think it is a viable alternative that can provide additional features in the future.

• Android Play Store
• iOS App Store

But how does it work? It is as easy as driving a tank. You probably have a WiFi router at home right? If not, we have some bad news for you. Once youve found out whats going on with your home internet, tell your friends that they need to connect with their phones to your WiFi network. The PC or Laptop should also be on the same network that you are using for running the game. If you are all on the same network, simply launch the Controller App while the game is running, and press Join. Thats all, you are ready to roll out. Oh and one more thing. You can mix up the controllers, so you can use different ones in the same time - for e.g. one keyboard with 2 phones and one Xbox One controller etc. it doesnt matter. Try out the game with your old budget controller that youve bought for 1$, we probably support that as well.
