Since 2012, Day of the Devs has provided one of the best stages for indie developers to share their upcoming work, with its reach growing dramatically after it began partnering with The Game Awards. This year, Day of the Devs held its Game Awards stream the day before the big show, giving a spotlight to some smaller, but no less impressive games making their way to players soon — very soon, in one case.
In a show full of surprises, the reveal of TankHead may be the more unexpected of them all. At first glance, it doesn’t seem much like Day of the Devs fare at all. Day of the Devs tends to highlight games that look like nothing else out there, often skewing far from the polished, combat-centric titles that dominate shows like The Game Awards. The biggest surprise of TankHead’s showcase slot is the announcement that it’s out right now on the Epic Games Store, and it turns out its initial appearance hides a wonderfully inventive concept under the hood.
