Originally on XBox Live in 2010, this intense retro action space shooter was later released as a showcase game demo for PC of what can be created with App Game Kit 2. In Feb/2015, it's available as a free game on Steam. It will test your reactions and concentration levels to the max. Fight your way through wave after wave of neon coloured space enemies, leveling up your score multiplayer and shields as you go. The onslaught just keeps on building with new challenges the further you progress. You'll need to be super focused if you want a place on the global high score table, one blink and it can be all over. Echoes mode consists of 10 levels of blasting action, each introducing a new enemy with different strengths & weaknesses. When you get hit you lose energy but it can be replenished by collecting green power ups. Getting hit may also downgrade your weapon, but act fast and you can power it back up again. Increased kills means more power-ups. Just want a quick blast? Then try time attack. In this mode you have to score as many points as you can in 3 minutes. You get unlimited energy but being hit incurs a points penalty. Survivor Mode is all about how long you can survive without taking a hit. The score is irrelevant. Classic Mode has a simpler game play and modified controls making it more like the 80's retro games. Meteor Storm Mode challenges you to fend off increasingly frequent and dense waves of meteors. Destroy the golden meteors & collect score multipliers. Asteroid Belt Mode has you face snakes of energy that increase in both quantity and length at each new level. Zoo Trials (zoots) are a series of additional challenges. Each zoot can be attempted on any of the four difficulty levels, with harder difficulties contributing more towards your total completion percentage. |
