So, Blitwise have let slip a few details of what a mysterious new “shooter” from them may involve…

“For the record… it’s an arcade game. Imagine taking a modern computer, with this game installed, back in time to 1982 and dropping it in an arcade. It would fit right in with games like Centipede, Defender, Joust, etc…. The input for the game would be a trackball and one fire button.

Of course, the player’s jaw would hit the ground when they saw the graphics, but the graphical style and gameplay would fit right in to the arcade environment.

BTW - There are stars in the background, but whether folks consider it a space shooter is up for debate. There’s lots of shooting… but not like you’d expect. hehe”

I wonder what it could be? Could it perhaps be….nah, not saying. You’ll just have to wait to find out.

Check out the info so far on their forums, no screenies so far - its all a bit hush hush etc…
