What is open-fpsz?

We love fpsz games, but we're tired of the genre being abandoned by prominent studios. To properly honor its legacy, we've chosen to develop our own game inspired by it, aiming to surpass its qualities with familiar jetpack and skiing mechanics.

What is fpsz?

First-Person Shooter-Z (FPS-Z, FPS+Z, or simply FPSZ) is a sub-genre of first-person shooters that emphasize player movement in the Z-axis through the use of jetpacks or other similar device.
