Euphonics

Moby ID: 43618

Description

Euphonics is a futuristic shoot-em-up set in the year 2420. Aliens that feed on electronic music have stolen earth's techno and it is up to the player to infiltrate their wormhole and destroy a crystal planetoid at the centre to release the beat. Player controls an aircraft inside an area filled with tunnels where only circular movement is possible, with a 2D plane mapped onto a 3D cylinder. That way the ship cannot navigate to the centre of the screen or change the flying height without moving left or right.

Even though the main inspiration is Gyruss, it is somewhat similar in design to The Germinator as all graphical content (background, enemies) is procedurally generated and in addition it is also synchronized to the in-game music. The ship is able to shoot different kinds of laser shots to take out enemies and obstacles, while avoiding objects and bullets. After a while a much stronger boss character appears as well.
