Galacide - A Shmuzzler now released on Steam!

Post by fug »

Hi all, I thought this may be of interest to you guys!

Galacide takes the classic shoot-’em-up genre to a whole new level. Combining thrilling, fast-paced shooter action with the quick-thinking required to solve match-4 puzzles, this “shmuzzler”, as we like to call it, marks the beginning of a new era of the shoot-’em-up genre.
Galacide places you in the cockpit of 1 of 4 powerful ships as you blast your way through the alien invaders and carve a path in the advancing bitwall. Upon destruction, enemy ships drop colored scrap pieces, which correspond directly to the colors on the bitwall. Shoot your scrap at the bitwall to create matches of 4 or more same-colored blocks in order to create a path for you to advance through. Shooting enemies, avoiding their fire, and creating matches combine to create a gameplay experience that requires skill, speed, and quick-thinking.

Features
  • Endless Play: Make your way through endless streams of enemies and the rapidly-advancing bitwall as you fight to survive as long as you can.
  • Leaderboards: Battle your way through endless mode in an attempt to crush the scores of other players from around the globe.
  • Puzzle Play: Challenge your mind in 30 unique puzzles that test your knowledge and understanding of the core concepts of Galacide.
  • Challenging Boss Encounters: Battle dangerous and powerful bosses. Can you defeat the most dangerous beings in the galaxy?
  • 4-Player Co-op: Recruit up to 3 friends in local co-op to assist you in dispatching the dangerous alien invaders.
  • 4 Playable Ships: Pilot the balanced Mining Ship, the tanky Freighter, or the elusive Phase Ship. Each ship includes its own unique weapon and special ability, ensuring that there is no “wrong” choice.

Not a bad review, pretty fair. I would say he missed the fact there is a dedicated puzzle solving mode, and levels don't quite take as long as he said. But if you're on the fence this may help???

Don't let that guy from the Galak-Z thread see this.
