Nexus Pitch

Overview

Many casual games seem to lose their luster after a few hours of gameplay.  The game itself isn’t customizable and the multiplayer is either boring or nonexistent.  Nexus is a 2D vamped-up version of Peggle throughout space, on different worlds with different environments, obstacles and even differing gravity which includes many customizable features for free play including scenery, difficulty, gravity levels, and even multiple players. 

Players shoot balls into space trying to hit certain power spheres while also using special powers that can be gained throughout the levels.  Extra balls may be earned, but earning more balls becomes harder as the level progresses.  The player wins if all the power spheres are hit in a round before they run out of balls to shoot.  Some levels will have walls to bounce off, but others will be in space a if your ball flies off, it’s just plain old, “goodbye.”

Gameplay

Using flash-inspired art and character design, Nexus is a light-hearted game that can keep anyone entertained for hours.  It can be picked up in minutes, but can take much longer to master.  This game is split into four modes: single-player, singer-player battle, multi-player co-op and multi-player battle

Single-Player

Because gravity is going to play such an important role in the game, it seems logical that it is the thing that changes the most.  In single-player mode, the player can travel to each of the worlds, playing in varying challenging levels while learning skills to better use in battle or multiplayer games.

Single-Player/Multi-Player Battle

This is where you use your skills to win against the computer player(s) (or player opponents) who are trying to destroy your power spheres before you destroy theirs.  Each ball is given to you at certain time intervals, so timing is essential and you don’t want to be caught without a ball to use in your defense. 

Multi-Player Co-op

Nexus gives you the option to play along side your friends and try to use your combined maneuvers to outsmart the cleaver levels and tricks that are in store.

Powerups

Nexus comes with a vast array or powerups.  They can be used when a powerup sphere is hit with the players ball.  Powerups include:

• Black Hole: A force of gravity that balls are attracted to
• Space Torpedo: Your shot splits into two balls when it hits a power sphere
• Escape Pod: This returns your ball to you to use again
• Super Nova: An explosion helps hit all the power spheres in close range
• And many more!
