***BlastZone 1 + BlastZone 2 combo: Comes bundled with BlastZone 1, both in its original form and as a remastered version in the form of “Classic” mode; get two games for the price of one!

BlastZone 2 is a fast paced and strategic side scrolling shooter that will get your adrenaline pumping! Play solo or join up with a friend locally or online to battle the alien forces that have invaded the planet and take the fight to them! Feel the excitement of breaking through the enemy barricade at high speed! Enjoy innovative gameplay mechanics such as 2nd person shooter sequences and creative use of 3D gameplay mechanics added to the traditional 2D formula. There are 6 game modes, 7 ship types, 4 difficulty levels, and turbo modes to greatly improve replayability, resulting in over a hundred ways to play the game! Explore multiplayer strategies such as a light defender ship protecting a heavy gunner ship to buy time while its ultimate weapons charge up!

NOTE: BlastZone 2 fully supports a wide variety of DirectInput and XInput gamepads, including the XBox 360 gamepad. If you’re unsure about your gamepad’s compatibility, test it out with the free demo.

** Play All 6 Game Modes **

• BlastZone 1 – Recreation of the original TI-85 game; a simple “defend the base” style game
• Mission Mode – A 35 minute long, 8 mission cinematic experience with hundreds of unique hand animated enemies and big bosses. Includes unique 3D gameplay mechanics and a 2nd person shooter area!
• Classic A Mode – A greatly enhanced version of BlastZone 1; a “defend the base” style game with beam weapons and a points chain system. Destroy all enemies before they pass your ship or it is game over.
• Classic B Mode – Similar to Classic A, but with a points pool system; every action either adds to or subtracts from the points value and the player needs to stop the game at the right point to get a high score. The game keeps getting tougher; get too cocky and you could lose it all!
• Survival Mode – Similar control scheme to Mission Mode, but with infinitely generated levels and a unique multiplier scoring system that depends on skill shots to get the best score.
• Blitz Mode – Similar to Survival Mode, but massively increases the number of enemies on screen and gives you a fully powered ship from the start to combat them. The key to this mode is to maintain hyper power to keep those weapons powered; running out of energy can mean certain death from the large swarms of enemies!

Additional Features include:

• 2D controls, but with hazards and gameplay elements moving around in full 3D space
• Cooperative multiplayer both local and online for 2 players
• Unlock the full power of your ship with hyper mode and unleash the devastating power of the omega cannon!
• Multiple difficulty levels designed for new players up to genre veterans so everyone can have fun
• 4 expansive game play environments, such as mountains, caves, and outer space
• 7 selectable ships with different play styles (power, speed, melee, etc)
• 15 weapon types including beams, cluster grenades, force fields, power bolts, and machine guns
• Hundreds of different enemy types, each with different behaviors and stats
• An online world leaderboard to see how you stack up to the competition
• A Turbo mode for each of the survival modes for experienced gamers
• Additional levels and content to be released for free

“Blast Zone 2 delivers at its best when played with a buddy online or sharing a keyboard. […] With a bunch of story missions, as well as a survival mode to blast through, Blast Zone 2 is worthy of you and your friend’s time when you need that Gradius-sized hole filled.”
