Crane wars is an almost ready for release game from Flashbang studios, the quirky team behind Paper Moon, Off Road Velociraptor and Minotaur China Shop. You can play a beta 3 version of this browser game here. You control a crane at a construction site, and have to build tower blocks, while watching out for attacks from a neighbouring crane company. You can throw objects at the competition's buildings, and they can do the same! The game is timed - your budget is constantly being drained, and when it runs out the game is over.

The controls are simple, but building your skyscrapers can be a bit fiddly, especially when someone's throwing trucks at your creation! Like all of the games on Blurst, Crane Wars is compelling mainly because it's a cool and ridiculous idea. It was originally scheduled for release today on the Blurst site, so if you don't fancy playing the beta and want to wait, it shouldn't be long... As with all Blurst games, you'll need the Unity browser plug-in.
