The full game will have a variety of modes, including a traditional arcade campaign for the purists, and a choice of ships and modifiers. The demo gives one mode to butt heads with - Surge. This lumbers you with a peashooter and an occasionally life-saving, generally life-endangering rushdown attack that blows up anything in your path. As you harvest the stardust of slain geometry, you’ll activate collectible power-ups that, once you’ve frantically found your way to them, briefly transform you into an absolute geyser of bullets and missiles, causing you to immediately lose track of yourself and fly into a wall. Look, I only played the demo for 10 minutes. I’m sure I’ll improve. The only way is up.
Adding insult to injury, sometimes the arenas shapeshift. Swathes of triangular grid flicker red and fold inward, boxing you in as you strive to thread the throng and reach the power-up across the way.
