For plain fun, no kind of game beats the arcade classics. And for
sheer cool factor, no kind of sci-fi medicine beats nanotech. In
Nanotron, the two come together. At the outset of this arcade-style
game, you enlist to defend Patient B-145A from invading germs. The
first battleground is the liver, where you blast away oft-mutating
(and strangely cute) germs.
Gameplay is a hybrid between arcade classics Breakout and Space
Invaders. You move a bat back and forth at the bottom of the
screen, lobbing a red ball towards the advancing ranks of
villainous germs. When hit, some germs drop helpful items like an
extra ball or a nano-pill. Just like in real life, some pills help
and some do harm. You can play the game on Easy, Medium, or Hard
levels.
Note: This demo covers only the first ten levels (or, if you
prefer to look at it in the game's terms, the liver). To unlock
Nanotron's next 50 levels--and a plethora of new power-ups, germ
types, attack formations, and boss germs--upgrade to the full
version.
