PERPLEX
PERPLEX
PERPLEX is a classic, arcade-style shooter with a twist... A dimensional twist.
The arena is divided into four quadrants. Anything that attempts to cross these quadrants will be teleported to another location.
Take flight across the dimensions
Power up your ship
Blast enemies to pieces
Build up your bounty
Will you be able to survive in this twisted galaxy, or will you be left PERPLEX'd?
How To Play
WASD | Move |
Mouse | Aim |
Left Click | Fire |
Enter | Pause |
Cross the lines that separate the quadrants to teleport to another position.
Objects that cross these lines are powered up; bullets become more damaging and powerups become more effective. Make use of this to survive for longer and earn more points.
Enemies
Asteroid
Weak and slow-moving, asteroids are easily dispatched, but can be trouble in large numbers.
Big Asteroid
Extremely tough, big asteroids can take a lot of damage. Great for building up your score.
Spinner
Fast-moving, erratic and dealing moderate damage, Spinners are a dangerous enemy.
Duplicator
Best taken out quickly, Duplicators release mini-duplicators as they fly across the arena.
Flying Saucer
Frail, but dealing heavy damage, Flying Saucers are a classic example of a glass cannon.
Pickups
Weapon
Increases your firepower.
Health
Restores your health meter.
Score
Adds a bonus to your score.
PERPLEX is a ScoreSpace Jam #11 submission. Thank you to everyone who played.
