Bazookoids is a simple split-screen multiplayer vehicle physics simulator game, where the objective is to topple your opponent using your hover car. The game is set in an arena where the players must ram and push each other until just one remains standing!
The controls are easy - just hold your device in portrait mode with players at opposite ends. Dragging up/down on the left half of each screen will control your car's acceleration, while dragging left/right on the right half will cause you to turn (see attached screenshot). Each player can also control their camera view using the relevant icon, and the game can be reset (with random starting positions) using the central button.
The car physics model has been created from scratch and tuned to simulate a fast-paced, dodgem-style driving experience. Once you're used to the feel of the controls, you'll be able to take part in high-speed chases while attacking/evading similarly skilled opponents.
There's also a powerup system which can offer critical advantages at just the right time. The following powerups are currently available:
-
Stop Opponent
: Shaped like a stop sign, disables your opponent vehicle's drive power for 10 seconds.
-
Bulldozer
: Shaped like a bulldozer vehicle, allows you to ram your opponent with zero consequence for 20 seconds.
