To start off, Vodeo’s release just a short trailer interesting Vodeo’s code gameplay. The mouse Skipper can be imagined as the pinball, while the enemy beasts can be seen as the pinball machined or the wall of breakable bars inBreakout. Players will aim Skipper so that they can bounce within the beast’s parts and appendages, removing bits of its armor, and dealing damage. It also hints at deeper elements of gameplay, like increasing Skipper’s attack damage.
Needless to say, Vodeo Games' first projectBeast Breakersseems like a fun and fanciful experience that takes a classic style of gameplay and evolves it into something new. Expect to hear Breakersand Vodeo Games in the months to come, as it prepares for asummer launch.
