Carrier Wave

Hitman with robots.

The Plan

This is an in-development build of something which might eventually turn into a game.

You are the Infiltrator, a specialist robot designed to sneak its way into secure facilities and recover secret information. Sent to investigate suspicious activity at a mining plant on a remote moon, far from friendly forces, the Infiltrator has been given considerable autonomy and may execute its mission as it sees fit. While it carries some weapons, it can't defeat an entire garrison of defensive robots on its own, so it must use its communications laser to hack other robots and use them to fight, sabotage or simply sneak through on its behalf.

🚧 This is a Godot 4 HTML5 build, so it may not play well in some browsers. In particular, Chrome on macOS is likely to be bad and may hang completely. Mobile browsers will probably be unusable too, and in any case, the controls were not designed for mobile.

Updates

Version 0.6, updated 2023-11-29

You can now switch to the other robot (which disables its AI), and also mouse control is different and not necessarily better.

Controls

WASD or arrows	Movement
Mouse or IJKL	Look
Right click	Toggle zoom
Backspace	Switch to other robot
0 (zero)	Teleport to the middle of the world
F2	Pause / settings
F6	Toggle colour filter

Known Issues

• This is a very early experiment, so expect a lot of incomplete features and obviously wrong behaviour ingame.
• The red robot often pops through the floor if it runs into a building for some reason. Luckily there is some more floor under the floor, so it's possible for it to drive back to the surface.
• If your movement keys get stuck down, try pressing all of them at once until it unsticks itself. This can happen if you get knocked out of the game so the pause menu appears when you have a movement key held down, I think.
• If you use the Vivaldi browser, their mouse lock behaviour is broken and will get stuck on, then stuck off forever until you reload.
• Does not fully load on iOS and wouldn't be controllable even if it did.
