ABOUT THE GAME

This is my pet project. I worked on it for a year in my free time. I was interested in the idea of making a project in a limited environment and also a web game that only needs a browser to work. So, this game is made using HTML5. No Unity, no WebGL - only Canvas and JS. I've also been interested in creating something with voxels for a long time. Not Minecraft-like cubes, but rather the old “pixels in 3D space.” So this is software rendering that uses a CPU only. The video card is used for scaling and filtering the result (“Blur” in Options). On my old laptop it runs at an unstable 60 fps. Performance may be affected by other open tabs with heavy content, such as streaming or video playback. If performance remains inconsistent, you can change the shadow quality or switch to 30 fps mode. If you don't like the view rotation effect, you can also disable camera rotation. In this mode, the game will be more similar to older games from the SNES and Sega Genesis era.

I hope you enjoy the game. I spent many hours not only for stressing your CPU with 320x180 resolution, but also creating fun and dynamic gameplay. There are a lot of things I would like to add to the game. Such as new maps, new modes and new attempts to optimize rendering. I will definitely return to the project, especially if I see your interest in it.
