Summing it all up, it's one of my favorite levels at this moment. steamhappy [ but there are 2 more levels incoming ] What else did happen without the level building? Right - Finally added some proper controller support! ( there was controller support before, but it was shitty ) Was not an easy task and I'm proud that finally did it. To start playing with your controller - just plug it in and off you go! And if you ever feel the need to change some button actions - you have the power in the settings menu! Other than that, have planned to make a new (hopefully better) game trailer. ( as soon will finish this crazy 4th level ) P.S. Did you notice that AREA 86 has a new logo? I tried to improve it a bit with my limited skills and hope it's better than before!
How do you like the new logo?

Yep - have set my goal to finish AREA 86 this year!
[ earliest possible release at summer or latest at autumn ]
From planed 6 levels in the 1st chapter, only 3 are completed and 4th is coming together.
Functional part is completed, but the visual/audio part is way behind schedule.
( had planned to finish it till April, but will see how life goes )
Maybe it took "a bit" more time because the idea fairy
did hit me with features that should be included?
Check these features that did hit 4th level:
- basketball court with best ball physics ever made
- parkour room where you control the parkour elements
- stealth room with a possible getaway run
- smooth camera switch between different rooms
- explosive boxes which can be used in different combinations with the environment
- the previous level saved robot ( if saved ) visits you and helps with the tasks
- door slamming!!!
- . . . [ need to stop here ]

Area 86 Linux [211.98 M]
We all know about Area 51
Would you believe that there is even more such places?
We just acknowledged that there is Area 86
Sources say it contains artificial intelligence research facility with
stuff that is not explainable to us!
We receive signals from it, but we have hard times figuring out how to use them.
And we don't know from what part of space it's coming from!
But we made a progress and now we can transfer your input back to the sender!
Here is some feedback on what did we discover by sending our input:
We get to control a robot.
Robot movement is very destructible and we broke many items in our path.
There is also a possibility to pick, throw & activate items while using the robot.
An unknown source that gives our robot tasks with hints on how to progress further!
That's what we did discover.
Possible that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Further discoveries are in your hands!
