All Games

Tachyon is a 3D third-person, free-for-all multiplayer vehicle combat game set in a timed deathmatch arena. Players pilot hovercars through an environment built with extreme vertical transitions and half-pipes, where navigating the geometry is required to build and sustain momentum. In this system, velocity acts as the primary combat resource: moving faster directly increases the damage output of both ranged projectiles and physical collisions. Players must constantly balance this high speed with their steering control to eliminate opponents by shooting or ramming them, while using evasive maneuvers to dodge incoming fire. Dealing damage and securing kills charges a pre-equipped Ultimate Ability, which can be unleashed for a significant tactical advantage. The primary objective is to accumulate the highest score through combat eliminations and performance before the match clock runs out.
