cool voxel style (with multiple layers!) and even if very colorful it still looks good. it also has good playability!

great prod for the p8!
impressive "engine" too

Well done. For some reason it remembers me of Zaxxon. Maybe in the future you could add ground targets and a third fire command -- c key? -- to drop bombs.

Cool engine! It kinda playish okay, I had trouble with 3d shoot em ups, to align to the enemy, when I do he is too close, but anyway I am just avoiding enemies.

Fantastic visuals! rez, do I understand correctly that your voxels are in fact sprite banners? How much overdrawing do you end up doing?
rulez added on the 2017-03-18 23:18:24 by introspec introspec
Great work!
rulez added on the 2017-03-18 23:20:01 by Soundy Soundy
@introspec; ho no, the voxel is a bunch of RECTFILL() commands and a very simple addition of SIN() / COS() for elevation :)

I just used some sprites for objects like the pyramid, all the rest is code :)

liked the music.
game was sadly too slow on this mac to be playable.

ZEPTON is also available on itch.io :)

and I put the source on github too!

what is the number and graph in the right top corner? In dev. stage, I though it was the FPS being show up as reference...?
rulez added on the 2017-03-21 16:50:27 by F-Cycles F-Cycles
@f-cycles: it's CPU %age used and the bar below is memory usage, if the CPU cross the middle line PICO-8 frame refresh drop to 30fps, so it's important to keep an eye on it to stay below :)

btw, you can hide/show the debug info with the "tab" key and there is an option in the system menu (accessible via "enter" key).

Haven't even tried the game yet, but the visuals are so damn yummy

omg. piece of art.

Just awesome visuals! Plays fine too. Quite hard though, or perhaps I just suck :)

Super! I only wish I could use the buildings as shields :)

@pera: ha yes, sadly not :D

but you can destroy building / mountains with your missile :)

Beau !
rulez added on the 2017-03-29 00:28:28 by Beb Beb
Wow, great game! Love the art & graphics style.
My only complaint is the difference between the red & green targetting reticle doesn't really stand out for us colorblind people.

BTW thanks for doing the Y axis the CORRECT way (forward = nose down) for us oldschool Descent / flight sim jockeys. ;)

Been running this on the PocketCHIP today.

@4mat: sadly it's a little bit slow on PocketCHIP, but next version will probably be a little bit faster :)
added on the 2017-04-03 12:33:27 by rez rez
Thumbs for the effort and how nice it looks. :)
rulez added on the 2017-04-03 22:07:35 by Starchaser Starchaser
Truly awesome stuff. I just love the title screen. My PocketCHIP plays it OK. Occasional slow downs, but they're not from the game.

I added the ©LASER BEAM OF DOOM™, and also mouse support for the next update :D

Now if only I could get my hands on a more recent version of Pico-8 than the 0.1.5 that I have to run this locally on my Windows PC...

Color me impressed.

Actually it's like a mess where you can't understand where you got damage from. But hey, there is 3d models here!
Any chance for further support?
rulez added on the 2018-09-23 23:25:39 by 100bit 100bit
@100bit: yeah, the whole screen is a bit messy, I tried to make it readable as far as possible but I know it's hard :D

do you have any idea? perhaps adding a visual signal that display you are currently targeted by a laser and you need to move ASAP.

Great!
