Magnetude

Magnetude is a twin-stick shooter without shooting! By using the powerful magnets in your ships, you can pull your ships together with enough force to crush your enemies!

With a built-in tutorial, learn to survive endless waves of enemies (that gradually get harder!) on 4 different difficulty settings while trying to earn a high score. 

Enemies:

• Grunt - A basic nuisance, it'll follow its target to the ends of the universe. It's lack of abilities however makes it great for building big combos!
• Charger - They've got a need for speed!... Well sometimes. If you see one slow down, then you best be ready for its mad dash!
• Shooter - While not very mobile, these sly baddies attack from afar by shooting out glowing green globs of acid!
• Wall (Model in development) - A strange foe that'll punish you for playing poorly! It'll constantly pursue and face one of your ships. The catch is it has large canisters of acid strapped to its ends! Line your ships up well or get a face full of pain!

Don't worry though. There's also helpful power-ups to keep these goons at bay!

Power-Ups:

• x2 - While it won't win any awards for defense, this pick-up will double any points you acquire for 10 seconds.
• Sh - This pick-up will give you a handy shield. Ward off all damage for 5 seconds.
• TS - Take a breather with Time Stop! Time will freeze all around you for 5 seconds, giving the perfect opportunity to clear the screen.
• Battery - Filled with a strange glowing fluid, this battery will store an unbelievable amount of energy in you ships! The next time they collide with each other a massive shockwave will get sent out, wiping any foes on its way!

For reading this far, here's a little secret... There's a secret fifth difficulty, but how you unlock it is something you'll have to discover on your own!

Handy tips:

• You can influence your ships' trajectories as they fly towards each other! Use this to hit more enemies or to dodge threats!
• While your ships are connected, they move slightly slower!
• New enemy types are introduced on every third round, and you earn a health point every fifth round!
• The slow down before you launch your ships at each other is a great tool for lining up the perfect combo!

Known Issues:

• You can't navigate to the "Quit" button on the Game Over screen with a controller. Mouse still works fine though!
• May get blocked by Anti-Virus programs. Run a scan if you'd like and then just have your Anti-Virus run it as an exception.
