SPOILER ALERT! LIQUID WATER! Tongue

Looks great, also nice to see that the project is still alive despite low activity on these forums!

The graphics are amazing but I absolutely love how you manage to convey all the info about 3d movement!  Kiss

Is a joystick a requirement or can I control the bot using kb+mouse?

You can play without a joystick, however it is easier to fly with analog controls.

Some behind-the-scenes screenshots from the Unity editor. Click for full size.

Here you can see the components that make up the engine effect, and some of the player's script settings.


This shows the spline-based level editing tool in action on a larger level.


Who could this be?

Haha, yes well, you can either make a game or promote it. I'm finding there's rarely enough time for both!

That was my first thought! My second one being that the planet is being glassed, but that would make little sense for an ice moon

Spoiler alert? Tongue

That's a great video! The game doesn't go into too much detail on the surface features of Europa, most of your time is spent beneath the surface.

The game is now available to buy on Steam for Windows and Mac.

Here's a 3 minute gameplay video to give you an idea of how it plays:

Looks good! I'll put it on the list. One quick note: when the thrusters were reduced to recharge the lasers, it would be great if this would somehow be visible on screen. The video gave the impression as if the ship would just drop and you have to counter it with controls. Maybe dim it or give it a slightly different colour while the recharging is active?

The laser indicator on the HUD turns yellow, and says 'laser charging' and an audio cue beeps while it charges. It only takes a few seconds and then it's recharged. Maybe you were expecting it to last longer?
