Balder is a multiplayer Zero Gravity First Person Shooter using the Crystal Space engine. It also uses the borax template and the GNE -- Game Networking Engine.

Balder2D is a multiplayer game. It has a networked option and/or players can share a keyboard on the same machine.

Players control small probes which shoot tiny projectiles with which they try to destroy each other. It features a 2D overhead view of the playing field.

 It will emphesise team cooperation, instead of the standard frag-fest and meaningless violence of most first person shooters.

As one will not be able to change directions mid flight, one must carefully consider how to get from point A to point B without getting "flashed" (players carry flash pistols which freeze opponants).

For a more I suggest reading the Design Docs, especially the "General description" section.
