Razerwire:Nanowars

RW:NW™ is a personal revisitation of the 80s' arcades where I spent most of my pocket money as a kid. It's also my very first solo project after six years of working on much larger team projects. After all that work on slow pachyderms, I wanted to take a stab at something smaller, faster to make, and granting a more immediate fun. So, I dusted a gameplay idea I hid in a drawer a couple of years back, I set it up as a 30 minutes-a-day project and started working on it during lunch breaks. When the prototype was welcomed quite enthusiastically by the first testers, I decided to make it real.

Razerwire:Nanowars™ is as a simple little game, quite replayable and with a little nice set of upgrades, achievements and highscores to beat to satisfy the progression geek in all of us.

It is suggested to play with a mouse, but now since version 1.07, Razerwire integrates full controller support as well

If you get to have half the fun playing it as I had making it, I think you'll cherish it!

• Use the mouse to maneuver a monomolecular filament (the RazerWire) to protect your generators and kill the nanobugs assaulting them.

• Survive endless waves of attackers with increasing difficulty.

• Avoid hits on the Generators.

• Use the RazerWire to destroy your enemies.

• Use left and right mouse click to activate some powerups (like the Antimatter Blaster and the PowerWave).

Enjoy a rogue-like progress: Survive as many waves as possible, die, use earned points to unlock upgrades and powerups, and then jump back in the fight (there are checkpoints every 20 waves, no worries!)

• Multiple enemy types with several variants each :

• 7 Movement types (including Teleport, Accelerating Zig zags and Escaping from the Wire)

• 4 Shooting modes including homing missiles, scrambling bullets and all-around shooting

• 2 Armor types

• Multiple unlockable upgrades for the Wire including Shields, Armor, Health and Recovery Times

• Up to 7 powerups including Anabolishields, Nanoblades and Chrono Molasses

• Procedural difficulty increase in the endless waves progression

• If you like what you see, feel free to follow me (@DokHgn) and RWNW (@RzW_NW) on Twitter! Support is the best fuel for productivity ;)

In a future far, far away, humanity has colonized most of the galaxy. However, our world is being exterminated by an unseen enemy.

When scientists figured out that the killers are nano-sized, virus-like aliens, Dr.Illerotsap modifies a medical tool, a monomolecular filament used for nano-scale medical operations, and turns it into a formidable weapon against the enemy.

The RazeWire was born.

My thanks go first and foremost to my family and to Jenny, for supporting my mad attempts at making a living with a job that I love.

To Olaf for sharing my office throughout the whole development, drooling over my flip flops and covering the floor with hair and love…
