Freeware Game Pick: Mega Popoidz (Sophie Houlden)
September 9, 2012 11:00 PM | John Polson
Similar in aesthetic and frantic thrill to Swift Stitch, Sophie Houlden's freeware Mega Popoidz for Windows, Mac, and Linux is an arcade style arena game that seems fitting for someone with 100 eyeballs and the twitch skills to match.
As far as I've lasted, Mega Popoidz only grants one life to survive as long as possible, avoiding or destroying the red and purple squares that fade into existence. The yellow lines, once active, are also deadly. The only reprieve from the chaos is the noisy but bright homing missiles. The amount of those missiles corresponds to the expanding green square in the background.
Created first for Glorious Trainwrecks' two-hour Trainwrecks from Spaaaace jam, Houlden touched up her entry the following day for every PC owner to enjoy. Grab Mega Popoidz here and see how long you can survive.
