Blink: Rogues, a mash up between classic shoot'em up and arena style one-on-one games, was released in Early Access on Steam by indie studio Fox Dive. The game aims to revive and challenge the SHMUP genre, by introducing a highly competitive PvP mode.
This unique PvP game mode allows for a mix of sharp reflexes and strategic planning, while remaining loyal to the top down vertical scroller layout. A duel engages players in a 5 minute split-screen match, granting victory to whomever earns most points by the end of that time. Points can be earned either by destroying waves of enemies or by chasing a frag in your opponent's screen, using the namesake Blink mechanic.
