Shooters eh? Blimey. There are hundreds of them. You know what? I never really liked hardcore shooters when I was growing up. Sure, gamed like Galaga, Uridium, R-Type and so on are great games and I love them dearly, but there's a school of thought which says that if you're not displaying 20,000 lasers onscreen at any given time then you're not doing it right. Xenocide is our response to that crazy idea - a shooter which ANYONE can play, irrespective of their familiarity with the genre. Initially designed as part of a larger game, we decided to stick to the "pure" gameplay of an Invaders clonebut to add some unique animation, funky effects, a cracking powerup system and online highscores. The result is our most playable, accessible and fun game to date - Xenocide!
Each invader is composed of a number of "cell" units - square blocks - which can each be individually animated to give a sweet twist to the classic Invader "shuffle" and, when the inevitable laser collision takes place, each cell is thrown around the screen in a very satisfying explosion! And while it's out smallest title in terms of download size, it's not short on gameplay or style. Add in a banging theme tune and carefully balanced gameplay and you have what we think is something everyone can enjoy.
