Attack Vector

Screenshot from a first-person shoot'em up where futuristic vehicles exchange fire among contemporary buildings, all rendered with big colorful squares given depth.

Welcome to Attack Vector, a 2.5D rail shooter with retro sensibilities, inspired by 8-bit and arcade classics, but with an original single-layer voxel graphics engine — think digital bas-relief. Enjoy a session of frantic shooting and dodging like in the good old days. Story? What story?

The game as it stands is only a demo, with a single 5-minute level and only three enemies. It was later reworked into Sunset Flight.

Requirements

Python (preferably 2.7) and Pygame; both are available for Linux/Mac/Windows.
A reasonably recent CPU. My Athlon 64 3200+ can run the game at 30-40 FPS for the most part.
