Biotype

About

Biotype is Big Salad Games' first Steam release, a free arcade-meets-modern 2D twin-stick shooter. The game is based around the unique 'Tri-Laser' mechanic, where you need to balance energy requirements for each of the three firing modes as you proceed through increasingly difficult levels. ### Gameplay Levels are enclosed battle arenas with some randomly generated objects for cover from enemy attacks. Enemies spawn with random chance, so each level will have different amounts of each enemy type. When an enemy is destroyed, they drop energy pickups for the Tri-Laser and random power-ups. Power-ups boost Biotype's capabilities to counteract increased difficulty, such as speed, dash length, and health. How far can you push Biotype in the simulation? Only your understanding of your enemies mixed with your skills with the Tri-Laser will tell.
