Zero G Arena is an arena shooter with zero gravity ragdoll physics grappling beams and magnet boots. Its an intense combination!The game is designed to work on multiple levels of play:The novelty of the mechanics and the sheer fun of floating and swinging about the levels provides a fun experience at any level of play.The outlandish hijinks that are enabled by the ragdoll physics grapple beams and fast-paced action make the game hilarious fun to play casually with friends (or with friendly strangers on public servers...).At its core Zero G Arena is a balanced competitive game with an extremely high skill-ceiling. Mastery of the movement mechanics is of more importance than aiming ability. You may also be surprised by its tactical depth (feel free to ask me on the forums for more about this).GameplayMovementYou can toggle your boot magnets freely to switch between running on magnetic surfaces or floating with zero gravity ragdoll physics. You also have a grappling beam which can be used to pull yourself around and swing about while floating.As well as these technological locomotive methods you also have a powerful set of core movement abilities:A set of basic jumps which can be controlled intuitively using the spacebar and movement keys.A wall-jump which can be used while floating to bounce from wall to wall.A crouch ability which can be used to do a crouching slide on magnetic surfaces to dodge enemy fire.CombatZero G Arena features a set of 5 futuristic firearms. All players start with the same default weapon and can acquire other weapons from pickups in the map.Zero G Arena also features a pickup that can turn your grapple-beam into a weapon that damages other players on intersection.Use your speed as a weapon with the melee kick! Its damage scales greatly with your speed relative to the target.Game ModesZero G Arena features the classic Free-For-All Team-Deathmatch and King-Of-The-Hill game modes as well as these Zero-G originals:Capture-The-Sphere: Like the familiar Capture-The-Flag game mode except the flag is a large floating sphere. Players must use their grapple beams to pull the sphere to their goal while fighting off the other team.Spaceball: A fast team-based sporty game-mode similar to Soccer/Football. Players dont have any weapons other than a non-lethal Force Cannon which can be used to shoot the ball across the map.
