Game Description

Blast Works: Build, Trade, and Destroy is an action-packed, retro-style shooter where the firepower just keeps getting bigger! As you destroy enemies, you can absorb their parts and weapons to make your ship bigger and better. Over the course of 15 missions, your ship grows into a mighty powerhouse. The game features a handy Level Editor, as well as a unique Ship Editor, which gives you the ability create ships for you and your enemies entirely from scratch. Marathon Mode sends you though a never-ending stream of random levels with difficulty adapting to your performance. You'll also find a variety of multi-player options, an unlockable bonus game, and more.
