An old game.

There was an old game, but I can't remember the name of it. Can anyone help?

the game had deformable ground (very very basic though, it was all in cubes.) and only 3 weapons.

1. I can't remember the name, it doesn't effect ground and hurts things.
2. It hurts things more and deforms ground but goes through the air slower.
3. A lazer that doesn't hurt things, but it creates rock (you fire it at something and it will make a trail of that material towards you... It's hard to explain.)

It took place in space, everyone could fly, and you could walk on ground aswell if needed, there was a secondary "build" mode of gameplay where no bots or other players were allowed, and you just messed around with the deformable stuff. The players were limbless and fired the weapons from their heads.

Yup. This is a strange game. But it was fun and I want to know what it was called.

What OS(es)/Console(s) was it for?

I doubt that, since saying what it's called after we already know is pretty useless.

was it by any chance called Terraform or something? also, what platform?

It was for PC, but I'm not sure whether it's windows or linux.

Checking Terraform...

No, that isn't it.

To Colicedus, you were joking, right? =P

Anyway. The game sounds cool, but I don't think I've seen it anywhere.
It's a annoying to get nostalgic and remember a game you had fun with,
and then forget the name. I have the same problem actually;
I remember this RTS game where you control a pterodactyl (flying dinosaur)
carrying a magnet that you used to pick up stuff. You could assemble tanks by dropping different parts onto each other.
To make parts, you could drop different things (like rocks or sheep) into a machine.
'Twas fun.

If either of these support mac, dial 111, we have an emergency! MISSING UBER-GAMES!!

If this number is not your emergency services number:

A: What's with all the counter-productive (Minutely) more complicated numbers like 911?

B: Do what homer did; Pick up the phone, and yell "Operator! Get me the number for 911!"

Colicedus...I just don't know what to say to that..

I must say that I also hope to god you were joking.
You do realise his problem was he didn't know the name of the game and was looking for help from us to remember it, right? =/

On the topic of the game, I've never heard of such a game, and have never played it. Sorry.

This game looks cool!
You should post this description on more forums, maybe someone will recognize it!

*gasp* Was that TickTanks!?!?

or was it TankTics? I think it's TankTics.

You are correct, Sage.

Now that I don't like the look of Tanktics, can we find out what the other one is, and if it works on Mac?

I'm amazed this game is this hard to find!

Remember, he's talking about the RTS with the sheep and things, not your one with the ray guns making blocks.
