Shape Wars

Description

Shape Wars is an arcade-style 2D Arena Shooter where precision is key and hesitation is fatal. You control an agile ship in a closed arena, fighting off increasingly difficult waves of geometric enemies.

Designed as a showcase of tight gameplay loops and polished "game feel," Shape Wars strips combat down to its essentials: move, shoot, and survive.

• Campaign Mode: Battle through 10 waves of increasing intensity. Manage your resources carefully, you have limited special ability charges to reach the final Boss encounter.
• Infinite Mode: Test your endurance. How long can you survive against an endless onslaught?

Enemies

• Shooters: Ranged enemies that force you to keep moving.
• Boss: A multi-phase challenge.
