Voxatron is an interesting indie game that uses voxels and looks ‘retro-awesome’


Oh boy, with the re-appearance of Unlimited Detail, we search for similar games and found Voxatron, an indie voxel game that looks amazing. It’s quite a simple game at heart — mostly just Robotron set in a 3d destructible world with goofy creatures, and will feature a custom software rendering with soft shadows, built-in sound and music synthesizer, as well as playback & post game recording.
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 is slated for release later this year on PC, Mac and Linux. Lexaloffle promised to release a single-arena preview version before release, so stay tuned for more!
