Oumuamua

Oumuamua is a retro-flavored Breakout-inspired action game and the third installment in the Game Buddy series. You use a bouncing ball and your ship’s weapons to destroy blocks and enemies, keeping the ball from falling off the bottom of the screen. Stages become harder and more complex as you progress, and some feature boss enemies.

Break blocks and fight

The ball ricochets around the stage, chipping away at bricks and enemies, while your ship can fire directly at them. Falling power-ups can lengthen your ship, add more balls to the screen or give you a rapid laser barrage. Your ship’s thrusters let you dash toward a ball or change its trajectory.

The bomb launcher fires at blocks and enemies anywhere on the stage. Aim it up or down, and collect power-ups to replenish your bombs for hard-to-reach targets. You can also use the thrusters to lunge forward or dash sideways, helping you catch item drops or keep a ball in play.

Stages and settings

The game has 125 unique stages across four planets and a secret zone, with three adjustable difficulty levels.

Retro presentation

Oumuamua recreates the look, sounds and feel of classic late-1980s handheld games, with 8-bit visuals and sounds and chiptune music.
