A space game about swinging trash into things and dying.
Developed by Andy Makes · Published by Andy Makes
You pilot a tiny ship in a hostile space arena, using trash particles tethered to your craft as a makeshift weapon. Enemy ships, asteroids, and shifting arena walls threaten your survival.
Rather than firing, you build momentum and swing the particles into enemies while steering around hazards. The physics-based movement rewards careful timing and control.
The game includes 150 missions, with three available at a time and challenges that can combine. Completing missions unlocks ships with different movement and particle behavior; local play includes arcade co-op and deathmatch.
Some players enjoy learning to control the swinging particle weapon, describing successful hits and multi-kills as rewarding once its movement clicks. Reviews also praise the mission modifiers and the demanding arcade challenge. Other players find the controls difficult to learn or frustrating, and a few report sound or input problems.
PARTICLE MACE is a game about capturing the thrill of classic arcade games with a new, physics based mechanic.
PARTICLE MACE is a game about trying not to die, but that's impossible.
PARTICLE MACE is explosive arcade fun for 1-4 players that pays homage to twitch games of the past, but replaces the typical guns with an unruly physics-based weapon. Take control of a tiny ship in an extremely hostile universe, and defend yourself as long as possible from enemy ships and asteroids using a collection of trash particles tethered to the ship. To survive, you must carefully navigate around the many hazards while building up momentum to swing your weapon into your foes or your friends, all in a field of brightly abstracted visuals and an entrancing procedural background.
