Biotype

Biotype is a 2D twin-stick shooter built around the Tri-Laser, a weapon with three firing modes. You balance each mode’s energy requirements as you fight increasingly difficult enemies through a series of levels.

Battle arenas

Each level is an enclosed arena with some randomly generated objects that provide cover from enemy attacks. Enemies spawn with some random chance, so the number of each enemy type varies from level to level.

Energy and power-ups

Destroyed enemies drop energy pickups for the Tri-Laser and a random power-up. Power-ups improve abilities such as speed, dash length and health, helping you counter the increasing enemy difficulty.
