A New Zero (Open Beta)

A New Zero is a team-based multiplayer game by programmer Alex Austin of Cryptic Sea (Gish, Blast Miner). In the game you can pilot either a plane or one of two types of boats to try to take out the opposing team’s base. ANZ is procedurally-generated and is impressively small (just under a megabyte), but more importantly, it looks like a hell of a lot of fun! I haven’t played it yet, but falicon writes (via TIGForums):
We had a network game of this at lunch today at work. One person downloaded it and suddenly half the office was on board. We couldn’t quite get the planes working right but the gunboats are certainly fun… It is in beta so it has a pretty brutal learning curve and the controls need polish. But it is really neat and I love the graphical styling. The network game just worked which is always nice.
