Vector Arcade
A downloadable game
I've always loved old Vectrex games, how they looked and how they played.
There are many remakes of those games, so I don't think anyone needs other remakes. I tried to put together some new ideas with an old vector neon style.
So here it is Vector Arcade, a neon wireframe collection of retro-inspired mini-games for Windows, built around the look and feel of classic vector displays. Pilot starfighters, command tanks, survive chaotic chicken highways, defend a mothership, clear falling tetromino enemies, and lead armies in Vector RTS.
Each game includes local high scores, difficulty modes, sound effects, bilingual support, and a unified arcade launcher.
Features:
- 7 retro vector games in one arcade launcher (yes, all of them have bugs at the moment)
- English and Italian language support selected from the main menu.
- Easy / Arcade / Hard difficulty modes.
- Local high scores for each game.
- Neon Vectrex-style visuals with glowing wireframe graphics.
- Sound effects and optional MP3 soundtrack support (I've included two songs made with SUNO)
- Portable Windows build.
- Includes action, strategy, survival, tank combat, space combat, and arcade puzzle gameplay.
Included Games:
1) Chicken Squisher
A chaotic arcade driving game where your engine survives by crushing waves of chickens. Chain combos, dodge rooster attacks, and keep your speed alive (just stupid and fun, with ugly graphics!)
2) Chicken Panic Run
A frantic road-crossing survival game with traffic, aircraft, power-ups, near misses, and escalating danger (so difficult you will probably never see the aircrafts :-))
3) Deep Raid
A space combat game with ship classes, energy management, enemies, carriers, asteroids, upgrades, and boss encounters (the best game in the collection, imho. Enemies actively defend the mothership using different formations, carriers launch mini aircrafts and they need to return to carriers to refuel, large battleships can turn very slowly, enemies try to not fire if another enemy is on their way as they can kill each other).
4) Vectrex Mothership
Defend a massive capital ship, manage resources, launch allied craft, survive enemy waves, and use tactical fleet commands (highly chaotic and some slowdowns... but funny)
5) Tank Arena
A roguelite tank arena with selectable tank classes, upgrades, bosses, special enemies, and escalating waves (with recoil! and enemies can damage themselves when firing at you)-
6) Tetrattack
A Galaga-meets-Tetris arcade puzzle game where enemy tetrominoes attack, fall, rotate, and lock into the grid (a bit chaotic at the moment, but I loved both games... so here it is)
7) Vector RTS
A real-time strategy game with fog of war, base building, workers, unit production, formations, upgrades, minimap control, and AI waves. The best thing about it is in my opinion the formation mode of the units. Try it (I've taken the idea from Zero-K).
