Vortex Patch Notes
Vortex is a retro styled physics driven local multiplayer top down shooter game where the goal is to fly around in neat looking spaceships and kill your opponent by making his life miserable. How do I ruin his life?
Release & Industry Impact
It's super simple. You fire at their vortex until awesome pickups appear. You then pick them up and fire them right back into their vortex. You indirectly kill each other.
Neat looking spaceships! Tell me more!
Choose the right one:
The Rapier
The Gladius
The Claymore
