Hi all! I just released SaucerJam, a top-down arena shooter you play in the browser.
▶ Play: https://menezmethod.itch.io/saucerjam
- Any device: phone, tablet or desktop, with touch controls on phones. No download, no account.
- Play with friends fast: open a private room, send the link, and they're in your match.
- Quick rounds: free-for-all, 2 or 4 teams, or Core (steal the enemy core and bring it to your base).
- Three weapons on one energy bar: a laser, a ricochet shot that bounces off walls, and a grenade you arc over cover.
- Never an empty room: if nobody's online, labelled bots fill in, and real players take their seats as they arrive.
It's inspired by ARC (Attack, Retrieve, Capture), a game I loved and couldn't find anymore. I built it with a lot of help from AI tools (code, art and sound); the design and playtesting are mine.
Controls: WASD to move, mouse to aim, hold click or Space to fire, 1/2/3 to switch weapons. On a phone: left thumb moves, right thumb aims and fires.
Feedback is very welcome, especially on how the first minute feels. Thanks for taking a look!
