VECTRENCH - Vector Canyon Simulator
Think you can bullseye a womp rat from 150 yards out? Then prove it.
Dodge and weave your ship through treacherous canyons, reach the ventilation shaft, and launch a missile straight down it for victory… Wait, what?!
- Battle through an eight-level campaign.
- Unlock an arsenal of special weapons.
- Race against yourself—or the leaderboard—in three modes: Fastest Time, High Score, and Pacifism.
- Fly in third-person or switch to cockpit view when you feel the need for speed.
- Enjoy a variety of glorious 8-bit chiptunes or compose your own with the custom soundtrack editor.
Relive the raw, unstoppable power of a 1990s Pentium with our state-of-the-art vector graphics!
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.
