I was inspired to make this shooter level after I saw what Ladybug did. I don't think this is practical for the game because it's hard to get it right, and the game isn't really built for it. Have fun with this.

A preview of local multiplayer. The co-op mode follows typical arcade rules: player bullets don't hurt and when one player dies the other is left to play out the game solo. Bullets push the players around quite a lot, so it pays to coordinate your efforts to some degree to avoid inadvertently pushing your comrade into hurty things.
Competitive modes are still on the cards but will probably deviate from the obvious approach of transplanting existing characters into a death-math scenario. Pitting the default robot characters against each other results in quite chaotic play where the best strategy is often to spam bullets and leap around randomly. It might turn out better to have quite a separate set of characters and rules for this purpose. In any case, it will also be possible to invent silly 4-player party games using the editor.

Hi guys,
I'm playing my way through Jasper's Journeys (version 2.15 - Linux - x86-64) and I'm stuck trying to get the third orb on level 14. I've found two so far before going into the first door. I've looked all over the rest of the level with the up/down keys and I see an empty space on the lower left of the level, under the door to the next area and to the left of the blue flower and the inn. My guess is that this is where the third orb is. Now I just can't figure out how to get into that area. If you start at the inn and go down and then to the right there are two blocks in the floor, one of which looks darker, as though it were a secret block. However, shooting this block doesn't open it.
Am I on the right track? Have I maybe hit a bug? If not, does anyone mind telling me the secret?

This is exactly the format that Voxatron is designed from the ground up to run on: a 128x128x64 block of voxels. Until now the game has only been viewable on a virtual, simulated display that is projected onto flat screens. That is about to change!
Voxatron Table is the working title of a collaboration between Voxon and Lexaloffle. It is an arcade table supporting up to 8 players facing a volumetric display fixed in the center. The game is based on multiplayer Voxatron, allowing both co-operative and competitive styles of play. We don't have any footage to show yet, but I have mocked up this little visualization aid that shows roughly the format of the table. Unfortunately the mockup is also made in Voxatron, leading to a kind of Russian Doll situation -- the resolution of the real display is much higher than is shown here!
