Press release:
Monday May 1st, 2017 – Indie team Broken Arms Games is announcing ATOMINE coming to Steam on the 4th of May 2017, for 9,99 USD.

What is ATOMINE?
ATOMINE is a twin stick procedural shooter rogue-lite set in a virtual world with minimalist design, wherethe player recounts on the screen the real events of STUXNET, the first weapon ever created in the form ofcomputer virus. In every run the player has to clear the level area from all the enemies in order to unlock the portal to the next level. During the run every killed enemy will leave on the ground XPs, energy and/or weapon modules.

The Gameplay
ATOMINE is fast. There are a lot of enemies and you have to kill all of them to complete the levels. But don’t worry, you have infinite ammo and a (great) modular weapon system.

Weapon System
In ATOMINE the player can modify his weapon using special modules that he will find in the game. The modules have effect to specific parts of the weapons: type of bullets, number of bullets, rate of fire and other mutators.

Procedural Generated / Roguelite
The world of ATOMINE is composed by levels procedurally-generated. Every level has different type of enemy and environment. The player has to complete all levels with only one life. If ATOMINE is destroyed, the game is over.

Counter Hacking
During a run, the system can detect the intrusion and modify the game, so player must act quickly. If the player fails to hijack the counter hacking maneuver, the challenge will become really tough.

Boss Battle
There are not only “small” enemies. ATOMINE must also defeat big and powerful bosses.

Story
