About
The Promethium armada is headed to earth, leaving a toxic trail of destruction in its wake. Commander Braybrook, it is your mission to take up the experimental deep space fighter and stop the armada before it reaches us - YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE!
Inspired by classic Commodore 64 and arcade games, Promethium is a hard-as-nails retro inspired side-scrolling shoot-em-up that takes place over numerous of increasingly harder and harder levels. If you’re after a nice calm casual game this isn’t it!
Gameplay
Fly left and right over the Promethium armada ships. They have shield generators protecting them. Hover over a shield generator to hack and disable it. Once all the shield generators are disabled a self destruct code will be sent to the armada ship causing it to explode.
It won't be easy though, each armada ship has defences in the form of fighters, tanks and turrets. They will do their best to stop you. Every time you shoot one of these defences it will leave behind a power-pod. Collect these power pods to enable power-ups on your experimental fighter. Each power-up costs and there are 8 possible power-ups. The first power-up costs one power pod while the last power-up costs eight power-pods. Spend power-pods wisely!
