Legs are overrated.

A 3D action platformer starring half a tank, half a bro. Punch in order, then put your treads through a wall.

DRAG TO SPIN · CLICKTAP TO PUNCH
MEET THE BRO

The army offered legs. He negotiated.

Long hair. Big beard. Sunglasses, flame shoulder pads and a red tank top that has seen things. Below the belt, green camo and several tons of alternative transport.

  • LEGS Traded in
  • DRIVE Personal grudge
  • STEALTH Wall-dependent
  • REGRETS Ask the wall
THE ONE RULE

Read the room. Then punch it.

Read the stack of colored balls from the bottom up: red means left fist, blue means right. Clear it in order to drop the enemy; use the wrong fist and you stagger. Patterns stay the same, so practice makes painful.

Try it here. A or left-click for red. D or right-click for blue.Try it here. Tap the red fist for red, the blue fist for blue.

WHAT'S IN THE TANK

Fists, treads and bad decisions.

Tank Bro bursts out of the army lab on his new treads while scientists dive for cover.

Bring Your Own Door

Dig up a rocket booster, launch yourself with your belly cannon, or charge a shockwave punch. Reinforced walls go KA-WHOMP, and the dust settles eventually.

A helicopter carries Tank Bro over the sea toward the green coast of Cabarete at dawn.

Trouble In Cabarete

Beach cove, hedge maze, clifftop village. Lovely coast, apart from the occupied village and the volcano rolling rocks at you.

Dress For Excess

Meet the locals, spend bolts at Doc Rivet's and pick from 20+ looks. Old Man Brass supplies the gloves; the top hat is your decision.

Tank Bro leaps over lava at the two-headed Bomb Bird boss.

Bring A Bro

Play online co-op with a friend. Tested between Berlin and the Dominican Republic, because apparently one continent couldn't contain this friendship.

THE STORY SO FAR

One punch short of retirement.

A Bomb Bird dictator takes a city, and one commando walks through his tower wall to object. One very good bomb later, army scientists offer the commando new legs. He requests treads, then catches a helicopter to Cabarete for a strongly worded follow-up.

5One punch away from the dictator, whose claw is on a big red button.
6A blinding white blast.
7The commando in the rubble, sunglasses cracked, still frowning.

THE OPPOSITION

Birds, bombs and one radish.

GRUNT

Bomb Bird

A bomb with legs and absolutely no long-term plans.

SNIPER

Navo

A radish with a bazooka. Return his shots with the matching fist; he hates customer feedback.

BOSS

Two-headed Bomb Bird

Two heads, swapping colors, one crater. Plenty of room for a disagreement.

All bro. No thickness. Tank Bro flattened like a pancake on the volcano road by a giant rolling rock.
GAME OVER, BUT FUNNY

Death gets the full spread.

Instead of a game-over screen, painted comic panels show him flattened like a pancake by a giant rolling volcano rock, tank treads and all, sinking in the sea, or cooking in lava. Then he's back at the checkpoint, ready to make more poor decisions.

THE LONG WAY ROUND

Started in 2015. Finishing it this time.

  1. 2015First model. Half a tank, all the ambition.
  2. 2017Playable levels and enemies. Actual things to punch.
  3. 2023–24Two restarts lost to rebuilding engines and cameras. The walls survived.
  4. NOWTomas, one developer in Berlin, making a roughly two-hour PC game and aiming for the credits.

More bro soon.

Tank Bro is in development for Windows, Steam Deck / Linux and macOS; we'll show more soon, so stick around. For press, playtests or a plain old hello:

More socials soon. He's still learning to type with the gloves.
