Default Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, Posted 03-04-2008 at 07:36 PM.




About the game

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is a old school style shooter, but remixed for the 21st century with next generation graphics and deep, modern gameplay. Playing is simple: you are a geometric "ship" trapped in a grid world, facing off against waves of deadly wanderers, snakes, and repulsars. Your aim is to survive long enough to set a high score!

Avoid the spawning enemies, and shoot them down for points. You can also fire smart bombs, which destroy all bad guys on the screen. Save these up for when the going gets really tough!

The more bad guys you kill, the higher your score multiplier goes (2x, 4x, etc.). The higher your multiplier, the more you can score. But don't die, as you lose your multiplier and have to build it up again from scratch!

Been playing this fun little arcade game alot recently, does anybody else have it?
It's a bargain at $3.95 on steam.
If anybody else has it we can have a contest to see who can get the highest score.

I've got it on XBLArcade. Very fun, and dare I say, pretty.

I just want galaxies. Got co-op and junk. Sounds amazing.

Only played the Geometry Wars that was in PGR4, and it was pretty tight.

Thats waves. Pretty much like evo, they just attack in waves instead of around.

I'm guessing waves is pretty easy, as they all come from the same direction? whereas if they attack in random places it make the game alot more frantic.

Nah actually kinda harder.

They come from each side of the map, just in screen-long waves. And they get faster. So at one point you can have 6 waves coming from all sides at the same time.

Google "Grid Wars 2" for what is effectively a free version of Geometry Wars.
