In the distant future, humanity threatens to be consumed by an enormous malevolent organic mass - a sentient tumor with an undying hatred of its unwitting creators. You have been converted into the S-LAYER, a biomechanical warrior which can take the fight to the very core of the monstrosity: armed with a baton which can absorb your foes' attacks and wrest control of them from their master, you are the world's last hope.
XBox 360 gamepad supported.
S-LAYER's unconventional combat abilities require power to use. Power is accumulated gradually over time or by catching enemy shots with your baton, which points behind you as you move.
Press Shift/B to lock your baton's rotation (requires at least 12% energy).
Press Ctrl/A to swing your baton and absorb all incoming bullets (requires at least 25% energy).
Press Ctrl/A while holding Shift/B to fire your baton and dominate your enemies (requires at least 50% energy). A dominated enemy will follow you and fire its weapon when you press Shift/B. Different enemies have different attack behaviors. Press Ctrl/A while an enemy is dominated to order it to self-destruct and regain control of your baton. Dominating an enemy consumes energy; if you reach 0% while an enemy is dominated, the enemy will automatically self-destruct.
You have five lives; make good use of them. Checkpoints are scattered throughout your descent into the heart of the nightmare.
Good luck!
Update: Changed the Windows download to a 32-bit version for broader compatibility.
