Hyper-Rail Blaster – A Nostalgic Arcade Game

Arcade Colony will release a new game under its eco-system called Hyper-Rail Blaster. The game is in Unity engine and can be tested in the unity site. I played the game and here is my review:

If you played games like Space Invaders, Galaga, or Asteroids before, then Hyper-Rail Blaster will bring you back those fun memories. Hyper-Rail Blaster is a retro arcade shooter that's a throwback to gaming in the 1980s. It's fast-paced action, has a catchy music and addictive to play.

Hyper-Rail Blaster is similar to classic arcade shooter games. Players will shoot at one bouncing ball that will keep multiplying when destroyed. Players will have 3 lives at the start and the game will end when the 3 lives are gone. Similar to other games, the balls drop some power-ups and extra lives when hit. There are no points in the game yet but I would assume it will come when the game goes live. I don't understand the other stats like the lightning bolt and arrow yet but I would assume it will be some sort of special move that will destroy a lot of enemies similar to other power-moves in arcade shooting games. The music is catchy and sound like 8-bit games from the 1980s. The game controls is simple but addictive and you would want to keep playing "one more time".
