Action games

In action games, reaction-time and hand–eye coordination are the main challenges. Action games generally have a fast-paced gameplay. This genre is very broad and should usually be chosen when other, more specific genres (like Racing games) do not fit.

There is significant overlap with Arcade games.

There is a building area where the player can see an object which is to be copied—by similar building methods to those in Minetest Game or other Minecraft-type games—and a shopping area. A player buys blocks in the shopping mall and must build the target object exactly before proceeding to the next object. This page is a stub. Please help LibreGameWiki by expanding it.
Wasted		2026-06-20	Vehicular combat	Wasted Main menu Genre Vehicular combat Latest release 0.8.5 Release date June 20th, 2026 Platforms GNU/Linux, Windows Developer Franzbonanza Code license GPL 3.0 Media license CC-BY-SA 4.0, CC-BY 4.0 Engine Irrlicht/Antarctica Homepage https://wastedgames.codeberg.page/ Contribute Wasted is a free game. This means that the source code and media files are available to be studied, modified, and distributed. Most projects look for help with testing, documentation, graphics, etc., as well. Development Project Source Code Bug/Feature Tracker Chat Wasted started as a way to fill the space left by GTA SAMP Derby Destruction minigame servers, a vehicle-combat gamemode that was unfortunately not so popular anymore among Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas players. The game started as a fork of Yorg: a pretty car racing game made in Python made by Flavio Calva. But soon we realized something else was needed for the project. A loose team from around the world was formed while building the tools for a new game. Namely: CrystalTheEevee, who added car designs, and Spongycake, who supported gameplay. SuperTuxKart was declared as the game's new base of development. Franz's reason was tied to the fact SuperTuxKart had an impressive toolset offering solid coding and testing environments. However, as a new derby mode was introduced, Wasted began to deviate from SuperTuxKart. Wasted now is a complete hard fork of SuperTuxKart and it has almost nothing else to do with the original game nowadays. Wasted logo
