Free videogame with 3D fractal shapes

[Don Whitaker]

I've just released a game I made called Crashed Lander. It's a simple game inspired by classics like Lunar Lander or Space Taxi.

I created many of the objects in the game using Mandelbulb 3D. All sorts of alien plants and landscapes yanked from the Mandelverse then cleaned and painted in ZBrush.

You can play it in your browser or download for Mac and Windows. Linux version is also available but mostly untested.

lol, funny idea .... but ... ehrm ... how is it supposed to fly ?!??!? i just am able to press all buttons at once and fly up, but steeering ?!! no way!
perhaps i need to learn, .... how can autopilot help this ?!?!?

cKleinhuis: The hard mode ia very hard - almost too hard. The game was originally inspired by a modern classic game called QWOP which is famous for being extremely difficult and hard to control.    

Toggle the Autopilot with the P key then use WASD + mouse or Arrow Keys + Spacebar for much easier flight.

Haha, very nice little game! I was able to fly and steer but it's pretty difficult! It reminds me of the vehicles you can build in Half Life Garry's mod  

Nice usage of the Mandelbulb3D exported voxels

Thanks, Kali. It definitely could be a Gary's Mod rig.  I'm basically just abusing the physics (PhysX) features built into Unity game engine by strapping thrusters to some boxes and joints. I like that wonky/jallopy kind of feel.

Haha fun game I just beat the baby steps level

cool idea, would be way more fun if steering wasnt so hard.
