Sweet looking Voxatron game

Voxatron by lexaloffle is a sweet cubic looking game. It uses voxels to render the environment, giving the game its distinct look. The gameplay gets compared by the developer to Robotron but in 3D.
Although the game is not available yet to the outside world, the short video looks promosing enough to already put this on my whishlist. We love to see more of these!



Quote: 'If you've noticed an increase in the amount of voxel-based graphics around the place, this is why. Voxatron is an arena shooter that takes place in a world made of voxels (little cubes, kind of). Everything in the game is displayed in a virtual 128x128x64 voxel display, including the menus and player inventory. If you look closely, you can sometimes see the inventory (score/life/ammo) casting a shadow on some of the objects on the ground.'

Voxatron will be ready later this year.

And I told you so, retro isn't dead.
