About
What’s this? An off-the-wall, riveting jetpunk nose-breaking ricochet action platformer, lovingly crafted by the oddballs behind the Teslagrad series?
Key Features
- Jet-Fueled Knuckle Acrobatics – Scientifically inaccurate flight action that rewards high-speed momentum and precision. Feel free to completely ignore G-force in the name of awesomeness, and keep smashing, crashing and crushing to stay in the flow!
- Non-Stop Arcade Action – Tons of standalone levels (How many? we don’t know yet, we’re still making them! but there will be plenty!) packed with fresh things to punch, easily navigable through a revolutionary new innovation we call a “map screen”. Utilize the environment, find rewards, and chase perfection!
- Hoard Equipment for the Challenges Ahead – Collect and upgrade a large array of gear that offers drastic gameplay changes. Ignore all fashion sense and pick item combinations that suit your playstyle, specialize in optimized builds for each challenge, or go for stylish matching gear—it’s all good.
- A Rogues Gallery of Despicable Villains – From high-rise clockwork cities to soot black forests, each biome in Motorland is under the grip of the scheming business partners of power-hungry industrialist Baron Tychoon. They’ve kidnapped a whole orphanage and put the little ragamuffins to work among the crushing pistons and spinning cogs of their robotic death machines, and it’s up to you to save the kids. Crush this cadre of conniving crooks before facing the ultimate foe!
- Drop Into Battle Together With a Friend – It is nice to have friends. It’s even better when they can join you in battle! Fight together across the main campaign, or beat the snot out of each other in a friendly game of Knuckleball.
