Rocking To Reset
What happens when you mix a techno soundtrack, a Asteroids like spaceship with no gun, endless space, and less than two minutes of fuel? Well if you are roBurky you get a short and innovative video game called Reset. Being a big fan of the song Ready to Reset by Trash80, whose music was used in Darwinia, roBurky decided to make a video game that looked like a music visualizer, or maybe a music visualizer that played like a video game. The easiest game to compare it to in nature is Everyday Shooter, however this one offers no gun, and much more a interactive song, than a shooter game set to music.
You command a small spaceship that you launch from a planet at the beginning of the game and have only the left and right arrows to guide you: no boosts, no guns, and no help. You then have to dodge asteroids, flee enemy fire, and evade enemy sabotage, all which appear on screen in time to the song's beats and tracks. As the song ends your ship runs out of fuel and you are left to float desolate in space with a limited supply of oxygen; however, you can press 'r' and reset the whole game to begin the experience anew.
