Release date: 28/02/2018RW:NW is a personal revisitation of the 80s' arcades where I spent most of my pocket money as a kid. It's also my very first solo project after six years of working on much larger team projects.
After all that work on slow pachyderms, I wanted to take a stab at something smaller, faster to make, and granting a more immediate fun.
So, I dusted a gameplay idea I hid in a drawer a couple of years back, I set it up as a 30 minutes-a-day project and started working on it during lunch breaks. When the prototype was welcomed quite enthusiastically by the first testers, I decided to make it real.
Razerwire:Nanowars™ is as a simple little game, quite replayable and with a little nice set of upgrades, achievements and highscores to beat to satisfy the progression geek in all of us.
It is suggested to play with a mouse, but now since version 1.07, Razerwire integrates full controller support as well
Gameplay
- Use the mouse to maneuver a monomolecular filament (the RazerWire) to protect your generators and kill the nanobugs assaulting them.
- Survive endless waves of attackers with increasing difficulty.
- Avoid hits on the Generators.
- Use the RazerWire to destroy your enemies.
- Use left and right mouse click to activate some powerups (like the Antimatter Blaster and the PowerWave).
Enjoy a rogue-like progress: Survive as many waves as possible, die, use earned points to unlock upgrades and powerups, and then jump back in the fight (there are checkpoints every 20 waves, no worries!)
Features
- Multiple enemy types with several variants each :
- 7 Movement types (including Teleport, Accelerating Zig zags and Escaping from the Wire)
- 4 Shooting modes including homing missiles, scrambling bullets and all-around shooting
- 2 Armor types
- Multiple unlockable upgrades for the Wire including Shields, Armor, Health and Recovery Times
- Up to 7 powerups including Anabolishields, Nanoblades and Chrono Molasses
- Procedural difficulty increase in the endless waves progression
