Tinker Tanks

• 3D Tank Simulation Game using real world controllers

• 1st Place at the NYU Polytech Alternative Control Game Jam

Tinker Tanks is a five player cooperative tank game in which each player takes on a different crew position. The prototype won First Place at NYU Polytech’s 48 Hour Alt Ctrl Game Jam.  We were inspired by local multiplayer games such as Rock Band, but imagined working together to operate a D.I.Y. tank.

Each controller operates one of the features of the tank (shooting, driving, aiming, reloading, and repairing). Players had to work together to navigate their toy tank around a kid’s room, destroying enemy tanks and deadly laser shooting teddy bears.
