Steam Store description

Biotype is Big Salad Games' first ever Steam release, a free arcade-meets-modern 2D twin-stick shooter. The game is based around the unique 'Tri-Laser' mechanic, where you need to balance energy requirements for each of the three firing modes as you proceed through each level of increasingly difficult enemies. Levels in Biotype are enclosed battle arenas, with some randomly generated objects for cover from enemy attacks. Enemies are spawned with some random chance, so each level you progress to will have different amounts of each enemy type. When an enemy is destroyed, they drop some energy pickups for the Tri-Laser and a random power-up. Power-ups boost Biotype's power to counteract the increased difficulty posed by the enemy, such as speed, dash length and health. How far can you push Biotype in the simulation? Only your understanding of your enemy mixed with your skills with the Tri-Laser will tell.
