Twin stick shooters are some of the most entertaining games on iOS because they work surprisingly well on touchscreens. Hyper Beam, an upcoming game by Rinikulous Games, is getting the twin-stick part of twin stick shooters and combining it with an endless survival game. As you can see from the trailer, you control two little circles—could be spaceships, intergalactic blobs, your imagination is the limit—as one, using the beams linking them to take out all the enemies on screen. The game has several different type of beams, and once you charge your beams, you go into—you guessed it—hyper mode.
The game starts with 5 levels, and once you beam your way through all of them, the endless part of the game unlocks. The game reminds me a bit of Tilt to Live 2, although that one wasn’t a twin stick game. If you want to beta test Hyper Beam, head over to our Upcoming Games forum thread and sign up.
Not if more console/pc games begin using unavoidable micro transactions.
So true, and more adds
If its only cosmetic and the money helps them polish future games, then gamers shouldn't be too upset.
Maybe I was wrong.
The free to play market works- console devastated should switch to free to play.
What a shame😤😩
I used to love mobile gaming... I stopped playing consoles around 2008ish cause of them. After the free to play nonsense I purchased a PS4 Pro and PSVR ANd have played Horizon Zero Dawn, Drake Collection, Uncharted 4, CoD Infinite War, Battlefield 1, TitanFall 2, Tomb Raider Definite Edition, overwatch, Last Of Us Remastered and Resident Evil Virtual Reality and these games are just flat out stunning. I got lost in Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5 for over 100 hours and sometimes for 4-7 hours a sitting while loving every second of it. The PS4 is an amazing console.
I just wish phones went away from free to play and we saw a return of AAA Titles like Dead Space, Gameloft Clones... not free to play crap... but a full fledged triple A title.
If China is on a steady pace to become a more lucrative gaming market than the US, it would be good for all responsible parties if they could clamp down on cloning and piracy somehow.
Well, when the bulk of that supposed new revenue comes in form of micro-transactions done by unsuspecting users of pay-to-win games, while premium console-quality games for mobile devices all but vanish, I couldn't care to bother any less about mobile games.
Mobile gaming is bigger in China because console gaming never made any impact here. Up until a year ago, consoles were illegal here, so everyone relied on their phones to play games. While they are legal now, no one is in any rush to buy them as they are ridiculously expensive and most people don't have that kind of money. If you do own a console (if you have a bit of money) your games are more likely than not 99% pirated.
I have no doubt in my mind that game consoles will go extinct in the next 20 years... the shift in tech providing more powerful units and more battery efficiency can easily make this transition... console/ pc gaming been around for decades unlike mobile gaming that only sprouted in the last decade because how far we advanced in making better capable units.
