This action packed sci-fi match three shooter is an homage to the classic arcade games we grew up with.
## About This Game
Game
Metacell: Genesis ARCADE is an arcade game with the match 3 mechanic. Inspired
by those old-school arcade games I grew up with and I wanted to emulate that
experience within our own game. The basic gist of Arcade mode is a score
attack mechanic where you want to survive to level 100 with the highest score
by fighting back a never ending spawn of game pieces by making matches of 3 or
more before the board fills up or even worse you are killed by one of the
traps that could spawn at any moment. There are some things to make it not so
hopeless; like some cool pickups, bombs and even extra lives.
Story
Summary Metacell: Genesis ARCADE is a sci-fi thriller that takes place in a
distant future in which mankind has organized under a single galactic empire
called the Imperium.
Having already mapped and expanded deep within their universe, the Imperium
has turned their attention to what lies beyond, and they found it. They
discovered the means to breach the walls of our verse and create a gateway to
the other side, the Metaverse.
Once there the Holy Caste began their research into the newly discovered
realm. Blinded by their eagerness for knowledge, they created an abomination
known only as the Metacell. This monstrosity is a single-celled organism born
from both meta and prime material, and mere moments after its creation it
began to evolve and adapt at astronomical rates, escaping its containment and
threatening the entirety of existence.
Now only one man and his crew have even the slightest chance to defeat the
Metacell and save both of the verses.
Part 1 – Genesis The entry point into the saga this starts when the Imperium
Palace gets word that the Genesis Project has gone terribly wrong and the
Metacell has escaped and threatens the verses if not stopped. The protagonist
High Paladin Dominic Moore and his crew are called in from their much needed
vacation to put their lives on the line for what could be their last mission
as they head to the Harkonen Abyss where Heaven’s Gate lies and enter the
metaverse to defeat their foe.
Development
A little bit about us, we are just a few friends that wanted to make something
awesome, so that’s what we are doing.
We have been bootstrapping this project with no funding since day one (April
20, 2011) and have accomplished a ton and we continue to keep crushing
it. The only thing that sucks is we have to budget our time on the project
very carefully. We all have day jobs and families that take up the majority of
our time. So development to say has been slow moving but forward movement none
the less.
