Arcade shooter Curved Space announced for Switch

Only By Midnight has announced Curved Space, a modern take on the classic arcade shooter. It will launch on Switch and other platforms this fall.

Here’s an overview of the game:

In the far future, mankind has taken to harvesting energy from gigantic spider monsters from another dimension. Curved Space teaches the player the tricks of this hazardous trade through the mind-bending Story Mode. Players will blast, lash and leech power from the invaders while trying to hold together their own rapidly fracturing reality. Story choices will take players down unpredictable new timelines, and upgrade picks alter how battles play out against enormous boss monsters from beyond.

Players looking for a more arcade-styled challenge can dive into Survival Mode. Power-ups need to be wisely chosen and every ship ability mastered in order to hold off the endless, escalating hordes. For those after bragging rights, there will be a daily seeded challenge run with online leaderboards for that authentic arcade challenge.

Features

– 2D twin-stick style shooter action wrapped around gravity-defying warped 3D arenas.
– High-energy synthwave soundtrack featuring artists Scandroid, Fury Weekend & 3Force.
