RM5: War Twat
War Twat
You know, the problem with Geometry Wars? Its name is wrong. What it really should have been called is “Geometry Run Around In Circles” but I guess that isn’t quite catchy enough. So yeah, it’s wrong in the face. That’s not war. Unless your idea of war is having one foot nailed to a post whilst strange shapes sneak up on you and pop you one up the backside.
And with no disrespect meant, Geo Wars, Neon Wars… none of them are really war. Sure, some are good - nay, great - but not war.
War Twat on the other hand…that’s war. You poor piece of cannon fodder you. As the battle rages amongst the stars only one thing is truly inevitable… death. And lo, it will come swift, hard and fast. A bit like the Vicar did that time for you in the pulpit when you were eight. Only this time, there’s no hankies to help you clean up. Just explosions, destruction and what sounds awfully like Bruce Forsyth…
The aim of War Twat is simple. Survive. The only way you’re going to survive is to kill. It’s the proverbial kill or be killed. The big question is, just how long can you survive for?
Surviving War Twat
War Twat is a quick fire game with an emphasis on merely beating your own high scores. Control your player using the cursor keys and z to fire and survive the onslaught of enemies. Hit a bullet and it’s game over, hit an enemy and it’s game over, wander outside the arena and it’s game over. War Twat takes no prisoners.
The key to high scores lies in the depths of light entertainment hell. Brucey Bonuses vastly increase your score by giving you 1 point for every enemy, bullet or particle on screen as the shockwave blasts through the arena.
