Maelstrom
Shoot the bad guys and claim the goodies in the classic 90s asteroid-shooting arcade game. Reimagined from Andrew Welch's original smash-hit.
Tips
- Full instructions are available in-game
- Use the arrow keys and the space bar when playing with keyboard
- Use the left mini-joystick, right/left triggers and A button when playing with gamepad
- Switch to Xbox mode when playing with Xbox Edge (not necessary if you simply want to use a gamepad)
- To adjust settings (including to set gameplay to "Easier") click "Settings/Xbox" on the title page
Musings
- Maelstrom tanked in its first game jam and hasn't been well-received - which is strange because it's probably one of the games I played the most during development
- The pacing has been adjusted from the original and there is now an ending before the start of wave 24 on desktop and wave 20 on mobile

- More of your questions will be answered in the in-game instructions...
