What is Polygoneer?
In this single-player, top-down arcade shooter, polygonal enemies approach from all sides, and you shoot them with projectiles matching their colors. Five stages and a hidden bonus stage center on building scores; missing a shot or using the wrong color resets your score multiplier.
For you if...
- +you enjoy fast reflex challenges built around color matching
- +you like chasing high scores across short stages
- +you want electronic music alongside arcade shooting
Not for you if...
- −you want a longer game with varied objectives
- −you are sensitive to rapidly flashing visuals
- −you prefer shooting without matching colors under pressure
