I couldn't control the ship in the Linux version. All the menus worked fine but when the game starts I can't do anything, I tried using the keyboard, the mouse, an xbox controller and I can't even trigger a pause menu or something :C The only thing working is alt+f4.
Pity, because the visuals and the music had me really pumped up to blow something up, the game is very pretty.

Edit: Now I read that there was supposed to be an initial setup screen or something. I didn't get any, the game goes to a Unity splash, then a message about drugs and then the main screen where I can enter my name.

Yep, sorry but Linux support in Unity is still in beta, so there are a lot of issues, one of them is the lack of the setup splash screen that -for now- is the only way to customize the controls. :|
We hope that this will be fixed quite soon by unity guys, anyway we are trying to put keyboard/pad customization directly in game.

Actually you can try to control the ship with arrow keys, shoot with Q key and perform the 180° with spacebar.

edit: anticipated.

Ok guys, after some months the game is finally FINISHED!

It's really exciting since this is the first release from out indie studio MixedBag: we are also working on forma.8 but since Futuridium was a smaller project we've decided to finish and release it first.
The game started as a small game for the gameprog.it Unity3d contest in december, then we decided to polish it a bit and release it as a free game. And well, we started adding new stuff, polishing, adding more levels, polishing a bit more, change some core gameplay mechanics and... here we are now, the game is a LOT bigger than we anticipated.

Just a quick recap:

- 13 levels
- 13 original music tracks, for a 50 minutes original soundtrack. You can skip them in games like a jukebox.
- A new energy based gameplay mechanic
- 4 different gameplay speed, unlockable finishing the game. The game can get crazy fast...
- 4 different graphic skins
- a total graphic makeover, with revised colours, new models, more particles and special effects
- online leaderboards (with full GameCenter and achievement support on Mac OSX)
- totally revised difficulty curve, the game is still super hard but more enjoyable
- a credit system: destroy cubes to get in game credits to continue and other goodies
- some cool easter eggs..

The game will be FREE, and will be out on june 20 for PC/Mac.

Here is our new launch trailer:

One of the best indie game experiences in years. Totally unique. The visuals are simply yet beatiful, and the gameplay is really direct, simple and catchy. Music also is uniqe. Dont really like the story telling, it doest fit with the game style, but is a detail. Keep the good work

Thanks agumaster, we're relly flattered by your appreciation of the game.

We are planning to expand it in the future, so stay tuned!

Finally played this recently. It's pretty awesome. The difficulty in level design ramps up FAST but otherwise, it's a great game.
