Description

Once upon a time, on a planet far distant from ours, there lived 4 tribes in harmony. That changed when a neuro-parasite spread through the entire planet, turning everyone into drones that attacked the non-infected.

Following the initial devastation and the pause in the parasite spread due to reasons unknown, pockets of resistance have formed in a quest to eliminate the infected. The player fills the shoes of one such resistance member of the gray tribe, who is currently stranded, surrounded by a swarm of enemies.

Equipped with just one weapon the resistance calls the Verbindung Aura Burst (VAB), will you survive, or succumb to the swarm?

Gameplay

The game is modelled as a semi-endless experience, with the main objective being achieving as high of a score as possible. You will use the VAB to eliminate the swarm by:

• Connecting the enemies first. This creates a chain of enemies that can be eliminated with a single VAB burst
• Longer chains, and reduced variety of enemies in the chain, both contribute to the bonus multiplier that is applied to the score on burst activation
• Once you have a chain, activate the VAB burst t eliminate all connected enemies in one swoop

The swarm is near-endless, but surely, that can't be right, can it?

Controls

• WASD / Arrow Keys: Move
• Left Mouse Click/Hold: Use VAB to Connect Enemies when in VAB Field
• Right Mouse Click: Activate VAB Burst Attack
