Description

Particle Mace is an upcoming title for Windows, Mac and iOS that pays homage to classic space shooters, but replaces the typical guns with an unruly physics-based weapon. Players control a tiny ship in an extremely hostile universe, and must defend themselves as long as possible from enemy ships and asteroids using a collection of trash particles tethered to the ship. To survive, players must carefully navigate around the many hazards while building up momentum to swing their weapon into foes or other players.

Inspired by twitchy arcade classics old and new, Particle Mace requires quick reflexes to stay alive, rewarding skilled players with high scores worth bragging about and giving new players a reason to hit restart. Graphically, the game uses abstracted visuals to create a striking play field combined with an entrancing procedural background.
