Short description
Poly-Vinyl Pests! takes place many years in the future, where humans are long gone but plastics still litter the earth. Play as two ants from rival colonies in this twin-stick shooter to both squash plastic-laden pests and to prove the superiority of your colony!
About this game
Monsters mutated by microplastics have invaded our realm and it's up to you and your friend to defeat them! Poly-Vinyl Pests, or PVP for short, is an arcade action style game where you and your friend take the roles of the champions from competing ant colonies. Together you’ll defeat deadly decomposers and compete for glory as only one of you can declare yourselves the queen of the anthill. Cooperate and compete! Using twin-stick shooter controls, face off against bullet hell-style boss encounters as well as each other. Outperform your opponent and gain the highest score to be declared the queen of the colony! Gain upgrades! Between battles, upgrade your ant to become more powerful in order to fight stronger monsters and to best your rival! A world filled with plastic! Humanity is mostly gone, but their plastic waste still litters the earth. Play on levels that are filled with trash and detritus, and fight against decomposers that have evolved to use the plastics as part of themselves. This game was created by team IDX Legends over the course of one academic year as part of Champlain College's Game Studio Capstone program.
