A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

In-Devlopment build for testing, you can give  feedback here!

On Mars, you play as logistics rover operators tasked with retrieving as many cargo drops as possible and bringing them back to your base within the time limit. Compete against your own high score or against up to 3 other players. 

You start the round by driving to the center launchpad and once close enough pressing 'E'. Before starting the round, if playing online, players are able to join your lobby through the lobby list in the main menu. 

Currently there is only one map / music track but I have plans on expanding this. I was focusing on getting a good minimal playable build for people to test out the core gameplay and multiplayer first before adding more content. 

The goal was a simple party game similar to a Mario Party minigame 

The 'singleplayer' is just an ENET LAN lobby with just yourself since I was working on LAN multiplayer and didn't want to decouple everything from multiplayer right now. That's why it might ask for firewall permission. 

Windows build is tested and should work. I have no idea about the MacOS build, let me know! If running on MacOS you will probably need to follow these steps.

Important: Multiplayer requires Steam to be running

Feedback:

Once you've played it would mean a lot to me if you would fill out this short Google Form here to let me know any feedback/suggestions you have or any bugs you've encountered!

Controls:

  • WASD: Controls driving the rover around
  • Spacebar: Instant speed boost for your rover, has a cooldown
  • Esc: Opens the menu in game 

Known Issues:

  • Cargo drops can land on top of other drops and players potentally freezing in the air
  • When joining a multiplayer lobby sometimes it casues an error for the person joining and rarely for the host. I have it set to return you to the title screen when this happens. Usually rejoining/recreating the lobby works. Looking into this but it could be because I'm not using my own appid yet for Steam
  • Camera can still sometimes clip underground/into walls when rover is upside down
  • Performance issues/stuttering on first start up that seems to go away after a couple seconds 

Planned Features:

  • Boosting into/high speed collisions with other Rovers will knock off their cargo
  • Resolution/Quality/Video settings
  • Someway to better tell Rovers/players apart? Open to suggestions!
  • Global Leaderboards and personal high scores
  • Steam Achievements! Any ideas?
  • More music
  • Make joining in the middle of a round possible by joining as a spectator
  • More maps to play on
  • More SFX for the Rovers like engine and collision sounds
  • Lobby creation screen with customizable settings like round length and map 
  • Air control for Rovers, similar to GTA where you can control your cars rotation in the air
  • Controller Support
