Rebuild all that you destroy with the Nano Forge’s incredible repair ability, creating new gameplay scenarios never before possible.
In addition to the single-player campaign, players will earn points in the explosive Ruin Mode as they creatively destroy the world around them, chaining together explosive combos as they smash entire buildings into each other. In the four-player cooperative Infestation Mode, defend the colonies against wave after wave of alien invaders and carry over weapon upgrades and cheats such as the hilarious Mr. Toots unicorn cannon for use in the single-player campaign.
