Nearverse

This is not your average space-themed shooting game. Although the mechanics are pretty straightforward, the abilities of your ship and the difficulty of your opponents are all determined at random. Generate a new matrix and see what awaits you in the new galaxy you fly through.

  • Let a string of numbers determine everything from your ship, its abilities, and the aggressiveness of your foes.
  • Collect upgrades as you fly by to improve your ship’s armaments.
  • Survive for as long as you can.

      • Select Travel to begin the game.
      • Select History to start a new game based on a matrix you previously played.

  • Game Controls
    • Desktop
      • With your mouse:
        • Move your cursor to navigate
        • Left click and hold with your mouse to fire.
    • Touchscreen devices
      • With your fingers:
        • Tap on the screen to move around.
        • Tap and hold to fire.
  • Game Play
    • Game settings
      • Important notice
        • If you have photosensitive epilepsy, please visit the settings section before playing this game.
        • If you are playing on an older computer with a lower-end sound card, we recommend that you play with the music off.
      • The game settings let you customize the following graphics and audio settings:
        • Fullscreen: Switch between full-screen and windowed modes
        • Glow: Adjust the presence and intensity of the game’s glow. We recommend that this be turned off if you have photosensitive epilepsy.
        • Particle: Adjust the presence and thickness of the particle field (star background).
        • Music: Toggle the game’s music.
        • SFX: Toggle the game’s sound effects.
        • Autofire: Turn this option on if you want to focus on dodging your enemies. Turn this off and you must fire manually.
    • Game matrix
      • The general settings of the games are generated at random based on seed numbers on the matrix at the start of the game.
      • Once generated, the matrix provides the following basic details:
        • The name of the galaxy
        • The year it takes place
        • The model of the ship you’re flying.
      • Other details aren’t readily apparent, such as the ship’s armaments and the behavior of the enemy spacecraft and bosses.
      • Because of this, you can expect a different gaming experience each time you load a different matrix.
      • You can also change the matrix manually by tapping on its numbers. However, this is time-consuming and we do not recommend it.
    • Basic rules
      • Attack the enemies.
        • You can attack enemies manually or automatically.
        • We recommend the latter setting if you want to focus on evasive maneuvers.
        • Some enemies, bosses in particular, take more than a few shots to take down.
      • Avoid enemy fire.
        • Although not all enemies fire, which enemies do so will vary with the matrix.
        • Some matrices will have enemies that are incredibly aggressive on the first go. Dodging them may be impossible without upgrades.
        • If you don’t dodge an attack, you will lose a life.
      • Lives
        • You only have 3 lives in this game. Lose all of them and it’s game over.
        • When you lose a life:
          • You automatically gain one damage and power upgrade.
          • You lose all the upgrades you’ve accumulated over time.
        • After dying, all the enemies (except for bosses) are cleared from the field. This repeats each time you die until you run out of lives.
      • Collect upgrades.
        • Upgrades spawn randomly on the field.
        • They come in two variants:
          • Power upgrades increase the number of shots you fire. Increasing power lets you attack more enemies (or the same enemies multiple times).
          • Damage increases the intensity of the shots. The higher your damage, the shorter the time it takes to shoot your enemies.
          • Increasing both power and damage is the key to clearing large groups of enemies quickly.
        • The meters measuring power and damage are found in the bottom left and bottom right corners respectively.
      • Bosses
        • Bosses appear after the end of each stage.
        • They have a life meter measuring their damage that hovers just above them.
        • Keep dodging their attacks (and the attacks of any minions they summon) until you finally take them all down.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like shooting games.
      • This game contains a lot of flashing lights, including those used for attacks and explosions. People with photosensitive epilepsy should not play this game without first making the necessary adjustments to the game’s settings.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
