NOW WITH NEW REVISION! Supporting 1024 concurrent players over LAN, Nomad is an explosive game of preservation through assimilation.

Platform/System:

Windows

Platform/System:

Mac OS X+

Brief Play Description:

Revision 1 contains networking code that doesn't desynchronise (deleted an if-else condition and it worked), better frontend, and Nomad Chat!

Aim by holding the control stick or pointing the mouse in the direction you want to travel.
Burst with the A button (Gamepad) or Left Click (Mouse) to move.
Burst in time with the beat to maximise the distance travelled.
Burst adjacent to other Nomads to 'collect' them and steal their bursts.
Continue to burst and collect for as long as possible.
