PARTICLE MACE

PARTICLE MACE turns the classic twin-stick arcade survival template into a physics experiment. Your tiny ship has no guns. Instead, particles of trash trail behind on tethers, and the only way to attack is to build momentum and swing them into the enemies and asteroids closing in around you.

The physics weapon is unruly by design. Mastering it means learning how velocity, angle and tether length combine into something useful, all against the backdrop of an entrancing procedural starfield that shifts as you survive. Death is inevitable - the game just measures how long.

A hundred and fifty missions, nine unlockable ships and modes covering 1-4 player local co-op, 2-4 player deathmatch and arcade co-op give the framework legs. Leaderboards and broad controller support back the arcade-style replay loop.
