Last summer 3rd-Strike previewed Roche Fusion, the fast-paced shoot ‘em up brought to them by the indie game development studio Amulware. This deadly game has quite a nostalgic touch to it as the game features a hint of arcade. The game has improved much since last summer and is now available on Steam.
The replayability is simple outstanding in this game. Each new game you play is completely different from the previous ones thanks to the randomization system. The animated backgrounds, soundtrack, enemies, upgrades and even the mini-bosses is different each time, which ups the replayability of the game to an extremely high level. Truly, you won’t be able to get bored of the game – unless you get bored of the genre itself.
Dimension Drive? is a top down shoot ‘em up by two space engineers which is currently on Kickstarter. They’re chugging away with funds, but still need more to succeed. Now you can take full advantage of that.
Excamedia Academy's trials and tribulations towards Greenlight with their first big game Nanos.
What is Excamedia Academy?
Excamedia Academy gives students the chance to see how a game is developed, from beginning to end. This way, they are far better prepared when they end their study and start their own company. To make sure most projects can be finished, we are aiming for mid-sized games like Bomberman, Geometry Wars, Zen Pinball and other arcade-like games.
What is Nanos?
Nanos is the new revolution in the brick-breaking genre. You've probably played these hundreds of times: you break tons of bricks by shooting balls with a pad. Nanos is meant to be much more. It has the basis of classics Arkanoid and Breakout, with a touch of Pong. The biggest but most obvious twist is that Nanos can be played with up to four players.
Chaz at Twinfinite writes,
Since as long as I can remember, I’ve been a fan of top-down shooter games. Starting with arcade classics such as Galaga and 1942, I’ve loved the idea of soaring along and battling wave after wave of enemies to reach the goal and defeat potent bosses. Roche Fusion is a full-bore modern take on the genre, with an emphasis on the “waves of enemies” and a punishing torrent of baddies, bullets, and bosses to cut your way through. With a variety of ships to unlock and pilot, a pulse-pounding soundtrack, and a sharp aesthetic, it brings a lot to the table. But does this style of game still hold up, so many years later?
