The game is best played with an XBox 360 controller, but can also be played with the
number pad (with caps lock on). The controls are not configureable in this build.
The menu system is under construction: The intro menu (which requires a mouse)
differs from the in-game menu (which is navigated with a controller).
Some say the intro screen is counter-intuitive.. and I agree
but hopefully it's not so bad you can't get a game going.
The driving physics can't handle framerates of < 20 fps really well.
Give us resources and adjust the video (800x600, no shadows) to boost the framerate.
The objective is to fill your fuel tank.
You pick up fuel from the hopping gas cans. You crash into other guys and steal their gas.
Win the round by being the first player to 100 fuel.
The game never ends at this point (the rounds go on forever).
There is no campaign stuff yet.
Avoid the flame pipes if you can as they burn off your gas.
The crates don't have a gameplay dynamic yet...just showing off destructable meshes.
Pick up a sparkling oil can to load your oil weapon.
It doesn't do damage yet, but it makes a nice mess.
Like the oil rain from hitting a derrick.
The multiplayer works pretty well on a LAN but no WAN support yet.
Once one player starts a server, another player on the LAN should be able to see them
and join their game.
To play a solo game you start a server, and play with bots.
