sphereFACE takes you back in time with its retro-styled 3D vector shooter that takes place inside of a sphere. Check out the details below along with some pictures of the game.
sphereFACE is a retro-styled 3D vector shooter, wrapped around the inside of a sphere.
An unashamedly abstract shooter that ranges from slow, strategic sniping to frantic rock-dodging action, with roguelike elements of exploration, progression, discovery and permadeath.
The game launched on Steam on May 19th and is currently priced at $15.99.
The Game
– Destroy the “asteroids” in each sphere to unlock the hyperspace portals leading to other spheres, and navigate through a vast procedurally generated 3D space, homing in on the disturbance that woke you from slumber.
– Sophisticated inertial flight dynamics on the inner surface of a sphere are difficult to master – agility, awareness and good reflexes are essential to survive.
– Look freely around each sphere using mouselook, a controller, your keyboard, or even your VR headset.
– Roguelike single-save system featuring permadeath.
– Dark and twisted science fiction storyline.
– Arcade style top-10 high score system.
– Determine your own difficulty curve – progress cautiously and slowly, or charge in with guns blazing.
– Stray too deep into the hyperspace tunnel network and it won’t be long before you meet something that shoots back…
Weapons and Powerups:
– Collect and upgrade a variety of destructive and unusual weapons, such as the spreadGUN, gaussRIFLE, guidedROCKETS, spaceMINES, flameTHROWER and singularityCANNON.
– Destroy “enemy” ships and catch their “powerups” to improve your weapons. That is what they are, right?
– Fashion armour from smashed asteroid rock, and find movement augmentation devices such as reverseTHRUSTERS to improve your maneuverability.
– Each weapon has its own strategy and learning curve, but the true sphereFACE master must learn to use them in concert with each other.
