by Rainier on Aug. 19, 2008 @ 9:25 a.m. PDT

Prepare for space battles galore as Rising Star Games has signed the European rights to retro-style shooter XG Blast!, an arcade shooter delivered in a bright and colorful retro style. Players control a spaceship with the sole purpose of destroying the invading hordes before they do the same to you.

Undergoing a secret experimental journey, the spaceship Aknathen detects an energy spectrum identical to the one emitted by its prototype weapon, the XG Blast. Travelling to investigate, Aknathen is sucked through a wormhole and into a dimension filled with aggressive alien life-forms determined to take the weapon for themselves. Fight your way through hordes of enemies to uncover the origin of the mysterious signal and find your way back home.

XG Blast! is an arcade shooter delivered in a bright and colourful retro style. Players control a spaceship with the sole purpose of destroying the invading hordes before they do the same to you. A vast array of powerful weaponry and the special gravity blast creates a screen full of vibrant action with intensely addictive gameplay. Your ship is controlled using the D-pad and either the action buttons or the Touch Screen, allowing simple yet varied styles of play.

XG Blast! (short for eXtreme Gravity and refers to the main in-game weapon) will be available exclusively on the NDS and in all PAL territories in Nov. 2008.
