About This Game

Is that a brick falling from space? No! It's the Googlicks! 

The universe is falling to the Googlick Brick Overlords. These mysterious cosmic brick conquerors have planted robotic Klaxxack seeds across galaxies to conquer planets and consume raw planetary energy to feed the growing army. As the sole pilot and engineer of the Color Guardian prototype starfighter, you are your home galaxy’s last line of defense.

Forget everything you know about standard shoot em’ ups, block-breakers and vertical shooters. To survive, you must master a revolutionary high-risk, high-reward color-siphoning combat puzzle loop: blast enemy bricks to generate points and defend the only Color Guardian Starfighter in existence, switch to your Color Swatch cannon to absorb their color energy, and charge your weapon to destroy the matching colored seed nodes before time runs out.

Utilize the one of a kind tech you built, the Brick Collection Bucket (BCB), to collect the invading bricks and use that energy to fuel your powered up weapons and abilities. But don’t let the BCB overfill or it’s a bad day, a really bad day and maybe the galaxy’s last. Do you want that?

Immerse yourself in an authentic 80s/90s arcade cabinet experience complete with a custom built curved CRT screen shader, authentic scanlines, and a touch of chromatic aberration. You will feel the nostalgia pouring through even if you were not alive to experience it before!
