About the Game

An arcade/arena-shooter FPS about being swarmed by enemies on all sides and fighting back for a hi-score!

It's that simple really!  Think Geometry Wars but in first-person-3d!

*Inspired by Swarmlake and Devil Daggers.

Features:

-- Silky smooth gameplay with a top-tier movement controller that provides a blissful feeling to the player!

-- A dynamic HUD that not only provides visual flourish and connection to the player character but that also reacts to what is going on in the game-world!

-- A roster of 36+ weapons and power-ups!
-- Level-up for passive rewards and art/image unlocks!

-- Leaderboards and competition (which are indeed the whole point of the project)!

-- Magnificent art, created by BlackTar!

-- Joy!
