Just released 1.0: Celestial Impact is a multiplayer first person shooter (FPS) taking place on various asteroids with spherical gravity. What makes this FPS really special is that the landscape is fully deformable in all directions. Apart from the regular weapon arsenal (a minigun, a shotgun, a grenade
launcher and a high-energy precision weapon) each player is always
equipped with the Dirtgun. This tool has two modes. The first is the
dig-mode. When using dig-mode which removes large chunks of
terrain from the landscapei and a build-mode which adds terrain in the form
of a pre-selected shape in front of the player. Its a lot of fun removing dirt from around your spawn to keep it safe or making bridges and tunnels around the map to block the other team and even digging caves to hide in
Upon playing Celestial Impact for the first time, It made me think I
was on my own little planet like the little prince cleaning out
volcano's. Celestial Impact has no flowers or volcano's, though it
does have glowing mushrooms for ambiance, crystal health and armor
buffs. floating balls of double damage and weapon pickups scattered
around your little asteroid.
"Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet that
was scarcely any bigger than himself, and who had need of a sheep..."
