Developer Only By Midnight invites gamers to try out the open PC beta for their debut game, Curved Space. A blend of third-person and twin-stick arcade shooter styles, the full game is due out this Fall on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
About Curved Space
Curved Space takes the classic twin-stick shooter formula and plunges it into the weirdest reaches of space. Battle giant enemy spiders across curved landscapes where your bullets hug the terrain while the horizon drops sharply out of sight.
Inspired by arcade classics, players will have to hunt for weapon power-ups and upgrades while dodging enemy fire, blasting interdimensional bugs and wrangling some enormous boss monsters. Simple to learn as you fight your way through the branching story-driven campaign, but tough to master as you chase high scores in Survival mode.
Features
● 2D twin-stick style shooter action wrapped around gravity-defying warped 3D arenas.
● High-energy synthwave soundtrack featuring artists Scandroid , Fury Weekend & 3Force .
● Master advanced ship systems. Energy lashes, dash-boosters and Overdrive Mode.
● A non-linear Story Mode sends players down unpredictable timelines to strange endings.
● Stylish comic-style cutscenes from Heavy Metal artist Kyle Charles.
● Tons of weird and wonderful alien insects to battle, lasso and leech energy from.
● Face massive multi-stage boss battles in Story and Survival Mode.
● Over twenty weapons, from laser cannons to magnetic throwing blades.
