Welcome to the first development blog for Pneumatic Panic!
We here at Gamma Minus are very excited about this title. After having completed Rough Justice: '84, we're thrilled to move on, and embark on a new journey. But what IS Pneumatic Panic?
Pneumatic Panic is a chaotic co-op road trip game for one to four players. Working as a team, you and your fellow companions must arrive at the campgrounds with your supplies, avoiding obstacles along the way.
You'll have to coordinate your efforts by completing contextual events, for example, avoiding logs and wildlife, foraging for fruit, close doors to prevent the loss of luggage, and pumping up deflated tires.
The vehicle is constantly moving forward and players take turns swerving to avoid obstacles.
Currently, we have a 1, 2, and 4-player mode in the works. We maaaaaaaaaaaay end up having a 3-player mode, but no promises!
SINGLE-PLAYER MODE
In the single-player mode, you'll be responsible for the following:
