Whats the only thing that could beat the good news that Tank Maniacs is almost ready to be published? Of course the even better news: we made a demo for our fans! Certainly we can still beat the good and even better news: our demo is FREE and available from 05/11 till 17/11! Too bad we cant see your faces now. But maybe not too bad after all. So if youre up to the game all you have to do now is to gather 3 of your best friends or any available family members, or just lets say less obnoxious classmates, but maybe simply random people in your dorm who are still willing to talk to you will do, so the 4 of you can now occupy the couch and start the battle! But of course if humans in your reach are scarce or you prefer your own company over all other creatures, we have charming AI bots to beat you. Youre welcome. You can find the "Download Demo" button on the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1046630/Tank_Maniacs/ And now lets see the offer you cant refuse! [previewyoutube=ydQ7edaYtXs;full][/previewyoutube] Our first demo release includes: 3 beautiful hand-drawn, post-apocalyptic maps with different obstacles, featuring sandstorms, giants and alligators - all part of a future TV show where the players fight each other using tanks. These arenas for the demo are:

• Swamp
• Grassland
• Death Valley

A diegetic menu that demonstrates the gameplay and lets the players set up any match using basic game, including three rooms (one for joining, one for setting the game mode, one for setting bots, teams and starting the game) Pickable game characters all coming from various, funny backgrounds, featuring
