This is a PC download, 33mb, from my website, for my game Blazr, which is a take on the 1985 futuristic sports classic. It's early stages, but has sound, controller support, 1 or 2 players, bots and nice graphics. It plays on a spherical field, so real over-the-horizon shots are possible, and one can jump. There's also a VR Oculus Rift version, which I'll publish if there's interest, it's very rough now, but interesting. I'm not sure if the jump mechanic is practical for such a high speed game. The AI doesn't jump yet, so the goal stays fairly low. I didn't follow the classic exactly, but most standard features such as bot-vs-bot, angle shot and dribbling are implemented. This is actually my second take on it, the first was a Blitz3D version 15 years ago, which I started with a friend who is also a huge fan, and who made the 3D-models. It was never published, only shown in an art context. I played the original on C64 and Amiga a lot, but didn't quite get all the subtle details until now. Actually, as is visible on my site, I'm trying to craft awareness games which aren't too boring, so this is a spontaneous side project. I hope it rocks! I'm not too sure how much I'll have to change to make it fairly original if I ever craft it into a finished product, which will largely depend on how much fun it can be to play...

Crashed after I spammed the first cutie monsters with attacks holding down the mouse button. Like the style. Looks like much of work!
I tried it randomly, as part of my initiation to this website, as I'm desperately need some feedback too!
So good luck, I'll play some more and update the feedback, if necessary!
