Ultra Mega Planet Battles (UMPB) is an intense arcade-style, space-based, twin-stick shooter. Players can play by themselves, or with up to 3 friends local co-op or via Steam's Remote Play (total of 4 players). Select your character, select and modify your ship, then get shooting!



Levels in UMPB of vary by type, including classic vertical scrolling levels, room-to-room type levels and horizontal scrolling levels. The goals of each level also vary. Some will have bosses that need defeating, some will be time-based and others will be objective based (e.g. destroy power cores of an enemy base).





DIFFICULTY
UMPB has 4 difficulty settings to choose from as well as the game adjusting the difficulty automatically based on the numbers of players.

THE CHARACTERS
Select from 4 characters out-of-the-box, each with their own style, back story and motivation for fighting the enemy. Additional characters can be unlocked as certain requirements are met, for example, completing the game on a certain difficulty, or collecting a specific amount of "Krytanium" (the in-game currency).



THE SHIPS
Select from 4 ships out-of-the-box (that also convert to Mechs for certain levels). Each ship has different attributes at the start of the game, and can be upgraded or downgraded throughout the game. There are 4 ship attributes, Attack, Defence, Revive and Speed. In addition to the 4 attributes, each ship is equipped with missiles and mines. Additional ships can be unlocked as certain requirements are met, for example, completing the game on a certain difficulty, or collecting a specific amount of "Krytanium"



THE LAB
The lab is where ships can be upgraded or downgraded. The in-game resource (or currency) “Krytanium” is used to manufacture upgraded parts for the ships. "Krytanium" is collected from fallen enemies or from downgrading attributes of your ship.

THE ENEMIES
Enemies range from rapid fighters that lock onto a specific player, to large slow-moving beasts that drop special weapons that will impact the player’s controls or speed. Employ different tactics depending on the enemy type. For example, some enemies are impervious to the basic player weapons and can only be damaged by player missiles and mines.

16-BIT MODE
Toggle between a modern look and a classic 16-bit look. Players can start the game this way, or change mid-game in the pause menu!
