Electro Havoc

Electro Havoc is a retro, space-themed twin-stick shooter. You pilot the Starfighter X-7 through levels filled with waves of geometric enemies, dodging their attacks and using defeated enemies’ debris fields to set off chain reactions and earn score multipliers.

Combat and upgrades

Each enemy leaves a deadly debris field when defeated. You can lure other enemies into these hazard zones to trigger chain reactions. Offensive and defensive power-ups appear on the map and last for a limited time; an audible cue signals when one is about to run out, and you need to collect it before it disappears. Further power-ups may become available after boss fights.

The Starfighter X-7 is a fast combat ship with weapon systems for fighting through enemy waves. Its power-ups include:

• Health: regenerates one of the ship’s health bars.
• Shield: grants temporary invulnerability.
• Thrust: briefly boosts the ship’s movement to help it escape danger.
• Tri-blaster: fires in a broader spray pattern.
• Mega blaster: fires faster and launches larger projectiles.

Enemy types

The geometric enemies have different attack patterns and behaviors:

• Shard: World 1 enemies that grow in size and speed and gain attack patterns as the waves progress.
• Tetra: World 2 flying attackers that approach from an angle and are sturdier than Shards.
• Quadgra: keeps its distance and fires projectiles at you.
• Hexara: creates area-denial zones that drain your shields.
• Wedge: hunts in groups of four; destroying the glowing leader causes the others to fall apart.
• OrbA: was designed as the first in a series.
