Gamma Bros. is a brand new space shooter and the second game created by Miles Tilmann and Richard Grillotti from PiXelJAM games.
“The Gamma Brothers spend their days working in a huge space station near Jupiter. What could they possibly be working on? Something very important, no doubt.
The Gamma Brothers also understand the importance of not working. Every day at quitting time they hop into their commuter vehicles for the long, difficult journey back to earth. Every day, to and from work, they must survive many vicious and clever alien attacks!
It is up to YOU to guide the Gamma Brothers home. Prepare yourself for the ultimate space commute battle!â€
First, chose one of the two brothers to pilot your spaceship. Use the arrow keys to move. Use ‘A’,’W’,’S’,’D’ keys to fire and press space bar to pause the game. You can reconfigure the control keys under the game’s info section, which is really helpful for all these players who don’t use a QWERTY keyboard!
Defeat enemy waves and collect coins and power ups. Buy new power ups from the flying salesman coming up from time to time and defeat the different bosses before going back home!
For their second game, the authors did a great job: graphics fit very excellently the retro-like Galaxian theme, animations are very fluid and the music is always quiet and relaxing. The game is intense and really addictive and the increase of difficulty is very well managed throughout the three different levels.
With Gamma Bros., PiXelJAM has launched a really exciting and fun game reminding us that graphics aren’t everything. Great!
Have fun!
Update: a download version of Gamma Bros. for both Mac and Pc is also available for free!
