Would it be premature to say this already looks like one of 2011âs prettiest games?
Itâs Voxatron, an indie shooter in development at Lexaloffle. Sure, itâs a bit sparse, but games donât look good on the basis of how many textures and models you can cram on the screen. They look good by virtue of just looking good, and Voxatron certainly looks good.
The game is built with voxels, so if you you think it looks like a more manic 3D Dot Heroes, thatâs why. Itâs basically the same thing, constructing a game world out of pixel cubes.
The devs say itâs fairly simple â âmostly just Robotron set in a 3d destructible world with goofy creaturesâ â but given thereâs also a touch of Smash TV to the game (itâs based in small âarenasâ), that sounds just fine to us.
Itâll be out later this year on PC and Mac (plus other undisclosed platforms).
