What inspired Vectrench?

Vectrench grew out of my love for retro games, especially the neon vector chaos of Geometry Wars, the iconic stage-selection screen of Mega Man 2, the high-speed action of Star Fox, the sweeping on-rails adventure of Panzer Dragoon, and the immersive cockpit view of X-Wing.   I just built a game I wanted to play, and I hope you enjoy it too!

Feedback

I'm still building it out, so any comments/improvements are likely going to be heard and improved.  If you like the game, be sure to donate to helping me improve it!

Controls

Vectrench plays best on a mobile phone in landscape mode using the virtual thumbstick.

You can also enable tilt controls. They’re more challenging but a lot of fun!

PC and game controllers are supported, but I haven’t tested them as extensively yet, so they may still need a little tuning.
