Official X Account: https://x.com/TableTopTank What is 'TABLE TOP TANK'? This game is a 'Tabletop Battle Game' that fully utilizes Meta Quest's latest MR technology, 'Scene API'. Your real-life dining table becomes the battlefield, and all operations are performed using only hand tracking, allowing you to play with your actual table as the game field.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese game 'Tonton Sumo', the intuitive and rhythmic hand-tracking controls allow you to move your tank and experience intense, exhilarating battles.

The game is set on Mars in the year 2045. A mechanical lifeform, the 'Olympus Network', has established a base there. Upon realizing the 'Olympus Network' is plotting to invade Earth, humanity succeeds in hacking one of the enemy's prototype machines and launches a plan to eliminate the 'Olympus Network' hidden on Mars through remote operation from Earth.

Players project the battle on Mars onto their own tables and aim to destroy and shut down the AI command center hidden deep within Mars through remote control!

Intuitive Operation with 'Full Hand Tracking' - A Magical Experience The game's most distinctive feature is its controller-free 'hand tracking' operation. Use your left hand to control forward movement and turning, and your right hand to issue attack commands. This provides an intuitive operational feel unique to MR, where your own hands directly interact with the game world. ■ Goals of Joint Development and Future Prospects This new-感覚 MR battle game fuses TV Asahi's IP production capabilities with CharacterBank's advanced technological expertise. This collaboration leverages the strengths of both companies to create synergy, and the game will continue to evolve through future updates. The official version (paid), scheduled for release in April, will feature a multiplayer mode for up to two players to compete against distant family and friends, as well as a customization function where players can swap out tank parts based on their game progress, altering attack methods and mobility.

Furthermore, in the future, we plan to develop special attack moves triggered by real-world actions like 'tapping the table' – similar to the Japanese game 'Tonton Sumo' – to create exciting continuous combo techniques. We also plan to develop features that automatically recognize real-world obstacles on the table, such as cups and books, as in-game cover, allowing them to be incorporated into strategic gameplay. We aim to further evolve the game based on the feedback and ideas from users who play the early access version.
