Show HN: After 23 years, I finished my indie video game

In 2003, several friends and I started a game company to build a multiplayer mech shooter. The idea was innovative at the time. We developed a pretty cool demo, but we never finished the project. I've always wanted to finish it.

Fast forward to 2026, I decided to build the game using new technologies. After 23 years, the game is finally reborn.

Today, I am excited to release the first public version of Missile Massacre!

Pilot your mech, battle enemy bots, and fight up to three other players in fast-paced multiplayer. Launch missiles, dodge missiles, boost through the air, and use buildings as cover.

The game is designed to be easy to jump into:

No download No login Solo play with bots or real-time multiplayer Create a room, share the link, and let the missiles fly

The game also features some less-than-serious maps and mechs, including a giant baby crib and a teddy bear mech.

Missile Massacre is also built for creativity. Create, share, and play your own maps and mechs with the community.

If you give it a try, I would love to hear your feedback. If you liked it, please share with a friend. If you hated it, please share with an enemy.

Play: https://www.missilemassacre.com

Thanks!

I'm attempting to play from my phone. The game says that's better to play from desktop but what can I do?

This is my experience:

The left button is a kind of joystick that seems to move the mech, but not in a predictable way. The right button also seems to move the mech and it flies it too, and it shoots a ton of missiles too. Are they infinite?

The boost is? I don't know.

There are green mechs around. If I ever hit them I didn't notice. Maybe they have a shield on, but it would be nice to see when a missile hits, even if it makes no damages.

Anyway the frustating part is that I don't know how to move, or: I move but I don't know why.
