I
just managed to submit my entry before the site shut down. I
feel sorry for those who were a little too late, I had the same problem
last year with uploads going awry :/
Anyway, the game is a multiplayer top down shooter with lots of bullet dodging and crazy effects.
My main inspiration is the incredible freeware game "Liero", so fans should notice a similar style of play - mixing fast paced low level aiming and bullet dodging with higher level positioning/standoffs and weapon tactics in a fully destructable environment :)
Each round is very short - maybe a couple of minutes max, and is a last
man standing dance of death in a spaced out arena with black holes,
procedural terrain, powerups and random game mutators to further spice
things up.
Insane Game 3 is a great party game for 2-4 players, and is surprisingly addictive (I sent it to a guy just to make sure it worked the night of the deadline. Later on I get a message saying they ended up playing >100 rounds with a flatmate - that's over an hour solid in one session!).
The controls have been kept as simple and familiar as possible (the two
analogue sticks a-la-geometry wars) to try and make it as easy to pick
up as possible, which still offering a lot to experienced players.
The video I made in the last 30 minutes that completely fails to show the gameplay is here: Insane Game 3 trailer
