Freeverse Releases Neon Tango, an Original Retro Shooter for the Mac
New York, NY - February 7, 2008 - Freeverse proudly announces the immediate availability of Neon Tango, an original game for the Mac. Neon Tango is a psychedelic arcade shooter with thrilling action, eye-popping visuals, and a spoonful of retro sprinkled on top. Conceived with a gorgeous minimalism, Neon Tango licks the shoot-em-up genre down to its chewy abstract center.
Launch your cybership into battle against the forces of chaos across 50 stages of bitmapped treachery, overflowing with glowing enemies and pulsating bosses. Eye-popping graphics and a killer soundtrack from Digital Droo dazzle the senses, while the built-in online scoring lets you mock your friends as you beat their hi-scores like a Bulgarian circus monkey.
Each arcade-packed wave offers a brand new way to play, thanks to unique enemies and clever levels. Get tricky by bouncing your shots off of walls and enemies as you charge up your cannon to deliver massive energy blasts. Dodge the forces of entropy by stopping time or activating your hyper thrusters. Cinch up your britches and loosen your collar, because you're about to go for a ride!
