Stand your ground against a seemingly insurmountable threat that is after your precious sun. Defend your solar system in a continuous conflict that progresses from tame introductory levels to epic high-octane space battles that will challenge even the most experienced pilots. Power-ups As the levels progress and the threat continues to grow, so will the kinds of weapons at your disposal. Perform advanced maneuvers while dodging asteroids, mines, and enemy missiles as you upgrade the capabilities of your ship and rack up higher and higher scores. Equip primary, secondary, and defensive weapons - the choice is yours. Upgrades Add additional outrider attachments to your alpha fighter and create an extremely powerful ship. Keep both your ship and outriders in good repair or watch your precious power-ups float off into the darkness of space for the taking. Bosses Under the cover of an asteroid belt, enemies and complex bosses lurk waiting to attack. Each boss has their own attack patterns, weapons, and weaknesses. Tread carefully and use the hazards in the belt to defeat your foes without succumbing to them yourself. Local Multiplayer Fly solo, or with up to three of your friends in local multiplayer mode. Play co-op against waves of enemies or square off against each other in a wide-open combat arena. Players can join at any time with no need to setup complex game modes. Keep your straight during intense combat by customizing your primary and secondary ship colors, or configure friendly fire/collisions to adjust the level of co-op.

Press reviews: “ All the right elements for an addictive shmup: In the end, Solaroids: Prologue has everything a hardcore shoot ‘em up fan could want in order to keep themselves busy for many hours. The controls are snappy, the graphics are nice, and there are enough levels to have fun with for days.” Softpedia “Solaroids is a refreshing twist on the classic Asteroids.” IndieCade “I wasn’t asking for a game that turned Asteroids into a twin stick shooter. But this game makes the argument that I should have been, cause it’s kind of awesome.” HOGuru
