Janky Tanks

Janky Tanks is a local multiplayer combat game for 1-8 players. It features hilarious physics and rapid "janky" combat. Seriously, your tank winds up spending most of its time in the air, using wall jumps and rocket jumps to fight. It's fun for the whole family. Try it. You won't be disappoint.

Hey! Are you literate? THEN READ THIS!

This is Janky Tanks! The craziest local multiplayer combat action game IN THE WEST! ALSO THE EAST!

Did we say multiplayer? More like multi-SLAYER! This game combines simple controls with endless action. Blow up your friends. Blow up your enemies. Blow up yourself, because this game features ROCKET JUMPS!

This game is stupid easy to play. Here’s the tutorial: knock your opponents off the screen. DONE!

Why is it "janky"? Because it's bloody ridiculous. Play a few rounds and see - this game will make you yell expletives at your friends and loved ones. In a good way.

This game uses CONTROLLERS. Xbox, Playstation, or whatever dodgy third party awesomeness you've got. Plug it in and PLAY!

Featuring the following features:

  • 1 - 8 PLAYERS! YES I SAID 8!!!
  • CHOOSE YOUR COLOR!
  • TWO CONTROL SCHEMES!
  • LOTS OF LEVELS, WE THINK
  • WALL JUMPS!
  • POWERFUL POWERUPS!
  • HORNS! THE KIND YOU HONK!

What are you waiting for? Seriously, are you even still reading this? I've run out of things to say, so I'm just going to end this description with an all-caps:

"JANKY TANKS!!!!!"
