Downloads
Play on the web
The web version has proven to work at least in recent versions of Chrome (or Chromium) and Firefox.
It is highly recommended that you use the native desktop versions if possible. They include advanced features lacking from the web version (HDR, global illumination) and generally offer much better gameplay experience.

Known issues
The game refuses to start or crashes on some mobile devices. This is most often caused by bad GLES3 support. This is something I can't fix unless workarounds are implemented in the engine. Fortunately, this appears too impact relatively few users.
On some mobile devices projectile and particle movement is choppy. So far, I've only seen this on Samsung Galaxy S21 upgraded to Android 12 but I suspect other devices are affected too. If you're experiencing this, please let me know.
