What is POWERUP
POWERUP is a semi-cooperative dungeon-crawler. A 1 to 5-player game emulating Run-and-Guns on 2D platforms, in a pixel-art aesthetic. The theme is classic science fiction.
The world is being invaded by some very annoying creatures called BUGs. They crawl into our homes, steal our breakfasts and defile our garden gnomes. The only defense we have against this invasion is THE BLOCK, an outlaw organization dedicated to defending the planet from attacks of beings from other dimensions.
In the game we are part of an assault team: The 13th Squadron. We will have to lead our squadron in a quest to quash these annoying BUGs. We are armed with the latest in interdimensional defense technology.
The game has 3 modes: Campaign, Arcade and Deathmatch. The Campaign is a cooperative mode, each of the 4 missions revealing the plot. In Arcade mode we can configure our own board, among thousands of possible scenarios and battle wave after wave of BUGs. In DeathMatch mode, as 2 competing-teams, we will play capture the flag in a potentially lethal board setting.

The worst part of the game is the manual: learning to play is a hell, the sections have a bad organization among the manual, some points are not clear, and there are a lot of holes in the explanation, which leaves unresolved some doubts that arise with the simplest scenario. Aside from that, the game is actually fun and has some innovative details. The theme is very original too, and the different game modes add variety. More arcade missions would be great, but I think the author is adding them in the game website. Fun and original game, if it wasn't for the bad rules and the unresolved poin
