We all know about Area 51
Would you believe that there is even more such places?
We just acknowledged that there is Area 86
Sources say it contains artificial intelligence research facility with
stuff that is not explainable to us!
We receive signals from it, but we have hard times figuring out how to use them.
And we don't know from what part of space it's coming from!
But we made a progress and now we can transfer your input back to the sender!
Here is some feedback on what did we discover by sending our input:
We get to control a robot.
Robot movement is very destructible and we broke many items in our path.
There is also a possibility to pick, throw & activate items while using the robot.
An unknown source that gives our robot tasks with hints on how to progress further!
That's what we did discover.
Possible that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Further discoveries are in your hands!

Area 86 Features:

Smooth physics-based gameplay
Destructible environment and items
Tasks with hints that give you more confusion
Secret places and hidden objects
Unexplainable events
Controller friendly

Game Description Image
Spent some quality time by implementing your requested features and improved gameplay with your suggestions!

Let's start with the biggest trouble maker - item dropping!
It's was so easy to drop an item and get mad [ possible rage quit ]
Well - made an outstanding move!
I reworked from scratch our controllable robot logic including pick/hold/drop item code.
It took me a while, but I'm so happy about the outcome result.
[ hopefully, you will appreciate it too ] steamhappy Game Description Image

Don't think that it stopped all there!
Now as the new item pick/hold mechanic is implemented, need to go over all possible items and update their colliders.
[ not a hard task, but takes some time ]

To give more joy by smashing/throwing items - I started to add items that can break apart when defined force is applied :)
[ more on that next time ]

The next cool feature: Throw trajectory!
Such a simple line, but makes life much easier for many players.
[ if you think you can live up to the challenge to not use it, you have the power to disable it in settings! ] Game Description Image

And of course, Level 4 visuals updates: By size, I think this level is the hugest of all levels in chapter one!

P.S. started to work on the new trailer and here is a sneak peek of first ~4 seconds:
