PLAYHACK May is upon us. (Which means the PLAYHACK April winner will be announced soon)

Why not join us and create a Space Game. Lunar Lander, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Elite, are a few of the game styles you could try out. We're giving you 3 spaceship models and 2 asteroid models FREE to build your game with.

How does it work:

  1. Fork the project
  2. Build a game by the 1st June
  3. Winner's game will be featured on the site and will win a Google Cardboard.

This month's PLAYHACK is the perfect opportunity to learn about the particle system component. We've added one for you, but why not create so other effects for your game. Smoke or worm-holes, for example.

Win a Google Cardboard​

We'll pick our favorite entry (make sure you have a published build for us to play) at the end of the month, and we'll send the winner a Google Cardboard which lets you browse VR scenes just using your phone. It's the future!
