Polygon Hunter

Polygon Hunter is a third-person action game in which Eddie falls asleep in geometry class and dreams of scenarios based on countries around the world. He encounters the polygons he saw on the blackboard and must destroy them to wake up. You can play as Eddie or one of his 11 classmates; three of the 12 characters are unlocked from the start.

Hunt the polygons

Use weapons suited to different situations and collect pickups with effects that help you hunt more effectively. The game combines these tools in many ways, letting you build increasingly spectacular combos. Its action also involves choosing when and what to shoot: you weigh each polygon’s danger, whether to attack from near or far, when to collect a weapon or pickup, and whether to combine it with another. Your score reflects these decisions, and you can aim to improve it.

The game uses a distinctive aiming system: rather than rotating the character through 360 degrees as in a typical third-person action game, you turn by moving the cursor across the screen. Each character has one of three targeting styles, which changes how the game plays. The graphics use colorful visuals that do not fit into a realistic, cartoon or hand-painted category, but are designed to suit what each scene represents.

Characters and upgrades

You sometimes find money pickups, and you also earn money at the end of a game based on your score. Spend it to level up characters, weapons and pickups. Higher levels improve their features and make it easier to start another game and seek a better score, or attempt a higher difficulty.
