An intense combo challenge with an array of online leaderboards and trophies, the game is fast paced and full of arcade shoot ‘em up action! Scintillatron 4096 is the debut game from kFunction and will be exclusively available on PS 4 and Vita.

In Scintillatron 4096 players take on hundreds of enemies in frantic showdowns whilst also making tactical choices about the colour-based combo system. Combinable power ups can either help or hinder game play and topping the global rankings is the aim of the game. A 2-player battle mode provides a compelling player vs player challenge for party and winner-stays-on play.

Scintillatron is proud to be a mix of old and new. It combines classic arcade gameplay and an old school soundscape with a modern music track and UHD rendering at 2160p / 60fps.

“We've been passionate about games since the classic arcades and home computers of the 80's. This seemed the right place for our studio to start, and we've tried to create something that mixes the gameplay of that era with some new twists and a modern look. We really hope you have fun with it!” - Roch Gadsdon, Founder.

Key Features:

• Combos - This is what it’s all about! High scores need combos. Enemies are one of two colours. Take them out in sequence and aim for a perfect wave. Learn what to attack first, how to ‘herd’ the enemies and how to use the colour-flip-power-up to maximise your combo score.
• Hi-Score and world rankings - Just like it used to be, your hi score is everything. Scintillatron 4096 has local and worldwide rankings for score, deepest wave and highest combo. The scores are separately tracked for one and two player games.
• Local 2 Player - On the PS4, battle deep as a co-operative team on a high score attack OR in the competitive battle mode played over a series of rounds
• Single player -  Alternatively, play on your own with dedicated high score tables, rankings and achievements.
• Challenge - We mean it when we say the game is easy to play but difficult to master. Progress a little, build some combos and you’ll find packed, intense levels with audio and visuals to match.
• Achievements - Can you get the whole set? Can you clear 5 whole waves with perfect combos? Reach wave 10 without using a power up? Kill 6 enemies with a single shot? Plus many more…
• Power Ups - The game is full of many clever power ups that add fire power, multiply your score and change enemy behaviour in surprising ways. You’ll need to watch out for the power downs as they will make your life much harder!
• Enemy lineup -  It starts simple with a handful of coloured drones and progresses to assassins, chain-reacting mines, ‘Fat Agnus’ and the dreaded ‘Hurry Up’. Learn how to defeat them all and how to exploit them for the highest score possible.
• Ultra HD Quality - Amazing visuals and 4K quality on the PlayStation Pro! 60FPS and intense audio to match.

Scintillatron 4096 is scheduled for release on both the PS4 & Vita in December 2018.
