A throwback to the classic quarter eating arcade games of the 80's. Bit Blaster XL is a retro styled, addictive, and fast paced arcade shoot 'em up! (shmup). Your ship can not stop moving; so turn it left and right and use your boost/brake to keep from running into an ever increasing amount of enemies. Your ship is always shooting, so make sure to pick up more ammo and the variety of awesome power ups to help you survive longer. Get the highest score you can while collecting coins to buy more ships that are faster, shoot faster, or have more shields. Features Easy to learn, simple arcade style Controls to turn your ship, boost, and brake. (can also use a gamepad) (not a twin stick shooter) A variety of wicked Power ups like Split Shot, Heat seekers, Lasers, and Blast Shot to assist your survival. Several unlock-able ships to pilot with unique attributes to give you an edge in the Leader boards Endless survival (infinite) score chasing game play with a classic 'bullet hell'-like arcade style Steam achievements, leader boards & Trading cards! (with emoticons & profile wallpapers) Cool retro pixel Graphics. Gameplay inspired by Luftrausers, Asteroids, Space Invaders and Geometry Wars (some of my favorites) Unique chip tune songs for each ship. Manual Fire mode for those that want a different experience.
