Blow Away

Blow Away puts you in the role of bounty hunters fighting villains across the galaxy. You battle through stages of four rounds, starting with regular enemies and then facing powerful bosses alongside more enemies. A round takes from 1 to 2 minutes to complete, with a maximum duration of 5 minutes.

Combat and progression

Defeating enemies earns experience, which lets your hunter level up and acquire or improve skills. Enemies have a stability value that decreases when they are attacked; when it reaches zero, they fall down and can be launched with a distinctive attack. Launched enemies can collide with others, while some skills trigger alongside attacks. Dropped items let you customize weapons and shape a build for short, active combat sessions.

Hunters and skills

Hunters move with the gamepad’s left stick and use three buttons to attack and evade. Rapid presses of an attack button trigger consecutive attacks; pressing it while moving produces a strong attack, and pressing it after evading performs an evasion attack. Each hunter has distinct motions and characteristics for these attacks, with skills and weapon customization adding further differences in how they play.

There are over 50 skills triggered by actions such as attacking, evading and moving, so you choose when to activate them. Some use the physics system to pull launched enemies back with rubber or absorb nearby enemies.
