Shoot stuff! That's what the instructions for this delicious
old-school abstract shooter read--in full--and that's what you do.
Shoot stuff! There is no plot, no framing story, no dialog, no
pretensions, no MixedCase TechTerms describing the CoolEngine--just
stuff to blow up! Mostly circles of different colors, that spawn
other circles, that zip, zoom, explode, and try to blow up
you. You keep shooting until you've blown up too many times.
It's amazing good fun.
There may be strategy and tactics involved, but, honestly, all I
did was click the 'fire' button like a speed-addicted weasel with
OCD. You get power-ups as you play -- I think it was by catching
the little white things that drop from some of the things you blow
up--and your guns become twin guns, or shoot prettily spiraling
bullets, or go to rapid-fire mode, or sometimes all at once until
the screen is simply a mass of colors. This is a pure 2D game, and
it's all about overwhelming visual spectacle.
As with most games of this type, it starts out slow--well, in this
game's case, less fast--and progressively adds more enemies,
weapons, and patterns. There is zero thought required for this
game, and even less patience--just download, install, and start
blasting.
