About Vortex
Vortex is a retro-styled, physics-driven top-down shooter for local multiplayer. You fly spaceships and try to kill your opponents by firing at their vortexes until pickups appear, then collecting those pickups and firing them back at the other players' vortexes.
Local multiplayer
Vortex supports 2–4 players in local split-screen multiplayer. Movement is physics-driven rather than twin-stick, and the game uses vector neon graphics.
Pickups
There are 11 pickups, which you can customize:
- Minelayer: lays mines.
- Gunship: flies around erratically and shoots at you if you get close.
- Fighter: deadly in packs.
- Defender: protects the vortex.
- Mines: dangerous to touch.
- EMP: listed as “PME for the dyslexic.”
- Nuke: a nuke.
- Beam: helps with aiming.
- Repair: repairs like a band-aid.
- Shield: supports ramming.
- Clear: destroys everything nearby.
