Wave After Wave


Its been awhile since I've played a cool 2D outer space shooting game.

Developer Varia's XBridge, coming to Wii U in Q1 2015, looks like it'll be a really fun outer space shooter. The graphics look excellent, the gameplay looks fast and furious and...the game has A LEVEL EDITOR.

If you've read any of my past blog entries, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of level editors. I think its great that players can create their own content if they want to and play other peoples levels. And Wii U is the perfect home for these editors because of the touch screen.

With XBridge's editor, players can create enemy waves and bosses! Ships, colors, and various boss parts are at the players disposal. Its very impressive sounding.

Take a look at this screenshot of the level builder (from the Kickstarter page. the project is fully funded):



and here's a potential boss:

CREATE YOUR VERY OWN PERSONALIZED BOSS!

Doesn't that look really cool?!

The following are a couple of GIFs of actual gameplay too. I like the changing background a lot:

NEW BACKGROUND THAT IS EVER-CHANGING

I'll be keeping an eye on XBridge for sure.
