Game pageNodebuster: a chain of upgrades you can feel
Reviews enjoy feeling stronger as they buy upgrades. The attraction is growth feeding back into the feel of play.
One player enjoys a quiet beginning growing into attacks and explosions that resemble fireworks. For them, the increasingly busy screen makes progress tangible.
What makes it fun
Careful aiming gives way to fireworks
Upgrades in the skill tree add projectiles and widen your attacks. Exploding enemies add to the spectacle, changing careful shots into a screen full of action.
Aim, then move to collect
Early on, you aim the cursor at moving shapes, then move it over the currency they drop. Your cursor movement sets the pace of both attacking and gathering resources.
