Enjoy piloting the speedstar 3000 in this wonderful game where the Planets shrink and weird little alien ships pursue you with their evil intentions endlessly until you only one of you makes it out. Will you be able to survive to infinite waves of enemy ships in the several different worlds the constellation of Artemisa has?
Except for some particle effects that are extracted from Unreal Content Examples and the music, all the content, textures and meshes has been developed by us.
Instructions reminder:
Use your mouse to click on the HUD. WASD for movement and Space for endless shooting!

As for the gameplay, I'm rather on the fence. On one side it's very satisfying and always pushes you to try to get better and on the other side it suffer from a wonky camera making the whole experience a bit frustrating ...
Anyway, still one of the best game I've played yet, gratz !
Edit: agree about the camera. It's not terrible, but it doesn't help.
Also I noticed there's a sweet spot in most levels, including the last, where you can park yourself and keep shooting endlessly without moving for an easy win.

This game offers something quite unique in terms of it's visuals. That does not necessary help the gameplay though. Ability to see enemies through the globe makes it very difficult to destinguish if the enemy is right in front of you or is it far back across the planet. Another thing is controls. I found it really confusing and frustrating that when you start backing up left and right controls switch places. I think it would be waaay better to just leave them as tank controls.
Overall it's a very enjoyable and sometimes rather challenging experience that upon further development I can clearly see as a fully featured geometry wars style game.
