We have come to an end, we do not have any funds left to maintain the game and the servers. So we sadly have to shut down the game and servers.
Thanks to all of you, for the support throughout the years!

We are live!
Go have some fun!
Mad Machines re-launch
We have decided to relaunch Mad Machines as F2P January 29th, added custom games and 1 new map, all this to be able to smash some more blocks.
These updates are based on all the great feedback we recieved, long ago indeed, however we have not been able to accomplish this until now.
I hope you will have some fun!
F2P, custom game modes and a new map.
After many considerations and negotiations, we finally managed to figure out a way forward.
The game plays well, so we thought why not make it available and at least get some games going. And on top, see if we could manage to create an update with more game modes and a new map style.
We have very limited funds, so we decided to make the game available for free and create a DLC as well as a Patreon, to allow an option to support the server costs. If we get enough funds in, we will create more content in the form of more maps and skins.
This update is expected to go live mid November.
Small server goes online!
We managed to get a small server online in Europe, so it is now possible to get some games going again. For the moment there are no updates coming, and we will not open for any sales.
Stay safe out there.

Mad Machines goes offline.
It is not easy to press the send button on this announcement.
Mad Machines servers are offline. We cannot cover the funds needed to keep the servers alive anymore.
It has been some tough months trying to close the funding needed to continue developing and supporting the game. We did not succeed in doing so, why we turn off the servers now.
Thank you all for believing in us and showing your support.
Stay safe,
Team Mad Machines
Patch 1.04 out
We added more weapon skins to the io-game and likewise to the ballgame, which also includes special character upgrades, new colors and most importantly able to be played correctly on 144hz, 170hz and 240hz monitors providing a new level of butter smoothness.
Happy New Year!
