MegaPixel on shockwave.com
I just have to blog this: shockwave.com just launched a Unity web game – MegaPixel. It’s a pure, abstract, and mega-fun FPS. It’s set up in a very small space (the levels are basically boxes with several smaller boxes inside), and it pretty much uses a single texture for the whole game, and it does not use much more than particle effects for everything (the levels, enemies, weapons and everything else is just particles). Pure genius.
I like it! That says a lot, because last time I played FPS was ages ago. Finally, someone made a game that I can like again. How much I’m biased because it’s made with Unity… decide for yourselves :)
Now the killer part: the game is designed and developed solely by a 15 year old – Forest “Yoggy” Johnson. How cool is that?
Enough talking, just go and play it. And remember that you didn’t see cool until you get to the robot level!
Looks nice! the screenshot reminds me to Rez. Unfortunately it does not run on my home PC. When is unity going to be available on Linux?
You mean “does not run” as a bug, or “does not run” because you have Linux?
It does not run because I’m using linux and apparently linux is not supported, right? I have an ibook G4 too, so I should be able to try it there, or in the worst case I’ll try it at work next Monday.
Yeah, linux is not supported right now. In the meantime, of course there’s a youtube video on this page.
It’s indeed very cool. Initially I must have had an old player because it didn’t start. On a different unity file it said: failed to upate. I downloaded the newest one and now all fine :) (Sometimes i am loosing fullscreen)
I like the music, too!
It could fail to update if for some reason you had a beta version of Unity player installed (beta versions can’t auto-update). It goes out of fullscreen when the content loses focus; and that sometimes happens with in-page ads (i.e. when ad changes, it steals the focus, or something).
