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.

Thanks!

Thanks for trying it on mobile. This is really helpful feedback!

I agree, the mobile experience is not great right now. The game was originally designed for desktop. I’ll rework the mobile controls.

The left stick controls movement, the right stick aims and fires, and boost boosts you into the air. Missiles are indeed infinite. The green mechs have shields, so the first hit breaks the shield (blue explosion) and the second destroys the mech (orange explosion).

But I think the bigger issue is that the current mobile version is too stripped down. I may disable mobile for now and rework the controls rather than have it be someone’s first experience with the game.

Thanks again! Good feedback!
