DEATHATRON is a modern reimagining of classic arcade twin-stick shooters... you can probably guess which ones. Survive endless waves of enemies, weave through bullets and collect human specimens to power up your suit.

How to Play

DEATHATRON is a classic, wave-based, twin-stick shooter. Basically, kill everything on the screen to progress to the next wave... but remember the following points:

  • Follow the guide lines to the human specimens; collect 3 to spawn a power-up in the centre of the map
  • You are invulnerable when you dash (especially useful when you need to dash through lasers)
  • One hit and you'll lose a life. When you lose a life, the wave will reset... harsh but fair, I think
  • Now and again you'll land on a survival level. Your weapons will be deactivated here. Collect all the coins to progress to the next wave and spawn an extra life
