Game mechanics
The goal of each level is to destroy the vortices. Although some vortices will
take several stage to destroy. Upon reaching a level where the vortex can be
totally destroyed, it will unleash the most dangerous of its swarms to make
things a lot harder for our players. The twist we’ve added in this game is
that the vortex on each level will keep growing, throwing ever increasing
waves of enemies to overwhelm the player, so that they must continually fight
to push the vortex back. The game has been especially designed to play with up
to 3 friends, although we’re considering adding an optional fourth player
based on player feedback.
To implode the vortices, the player must destroy enemies to collect their
energy. On top of the vortex there are two spheres: The player level (blue
sphere) and the vortex level (red sphere). When the energy item sent by the
player reaches the vortex, the blue sphere shrinks the black hole, symbolized
with the red sphere. But in the other hand the black hole is constantly
growing stretching the blue sphere. The game ends when the blue sphere makes
the red one disappear or the red one grows to its maximum size. The concept is
kind of new, reuses the concept based in Beekyr and improves it by removing
the unnecessary bits.
Game’s history
The alien war machines caught us by surprise. A strange energy vortex appeared
near colony Vehar-12, then they came, swarming from the centre of the vortex.
The first attack was just over 20 Eartho-days ago and already eighteen
colonies have been lost. 56 million souls, gone. Now they’re approaching
Earthos, our biggest colony. We’re fighting back, but if it falls, we will be
all but destroyed. The vortices had seemed all but indestructible. But now we
have hope. Our technicians patched together a captured war machine, and
discovered the key to the vortices, a new kind of energy they’ve dubbed
‘Lumergy’. Our first tests of the device lead to an unexpected discovery. The
energy used to create a vortex could also be used to destroy one. Using our
modified war machine we can collect the Lumergy, and reverse its energy to
collapse a vortex, destroying the swarm within. We can predict where the next
vortex will open, and we can destroy it. We have only one chance at this, only
one ship. Your only mission: Destroy the vortices. Save all of us.
