Find a trailer for Vektor Wars below. For more details, head past the break, where we’ve included a game overview.

Welcome to an 80’s neon future inspired first-person cyber shooter.

Fast-paced First Person Combat
A neon-drenched vector world unlike any other
An armoury of loud and heavy weapons
9 World Zones to liberate, all with their own unique environments and enemies to annihilate
A wonderful original soundtrack

Blimbu Games has been working on Between Heartbeats, a project that has players taking on the role of a microscopic robot duo – Cecil and Egor – and battling hordes of viral spores inside the body. You’ll come across different locations, with each area offering a unique aesthetic and environmental obstacles. Between Heartbeats also makes use of dynamic camera systems that change the perspective of play on the fly.

Between Heartbeats is already on track for Wii U, and should arrive “soon after” the initial launch in November. However, success on Indiegogo could lead to faster development.

Get a look at Between Heartbeats in the video below. You can also try out a PC demo here.
