A cartoon soldier shooter with messy physics
pla_toon puts you in the boots of a cartoon-style soldier in a light-hearted, first- and third-person shooter. You can switch between both camera views as you fight. The matches run on smooth but responsive physics-based movement, and the environment reacts to the fight: buildings and vehicles can be damaged and destroyed. A bazooka shot at close range carries the target away on the rocket, smashing through any walls in its path. Belt grenades can be shot and detonate instantly, and weapons can be shot out of a player's hands. Grenades can also be "cooked" before throwing.
Playing with your group
The game offers several modes: DeathMatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, and Co-op Base Defense against bots. You can host and join your friends' servers online for multiplayer battles, or play the game modes against or with bots on your own. Remote Play Together is supported. Throughout rounds, airplanes drop para-crates with powerful items inside, and the first player to reach one gets the loot. Two levels are available: Desert Town and Canyon Tower. Vehicles include biplanes, jeeps, and rideable ostriches, and the weapon set covers the M4, AK, sniper, bazooka, and grenades.
Before you start
The game is in Early Access, so expect things to change as development continues. Blood hit effects are optional and can be turned off. The developer has noted an interest in getting the game running on Mac as well.
