Breakpoint is an arcade-style space shooter with neon explosions, unique enemies, and a variety of melee weapons that you can use to dispatch your adversaries. You can level up your weapons and build up a "breakpoint" meter to unleash powerful attacks that clear the screen efficiently. Compete in high score challenges and aim to best your own personal record.


What we like:
  • Unique spin on classic arcade trope
  • Variety of melee weapons with unique light/heavy attacks
  • Fast restarts and pick-up-and-play addictiveness
  • Catchy electronica dance track intensifies with each passing enemy
  • High score leaderboards both local and global
What could be improved:
  • Single game mode - no set level mode
  • More game modes would be nice
