Poly Star
Available now on iTunes, and Google Play, offers an engaging and exciting arcade experience. Players will pilot a stolen star fighter as they journey through space trying to avoid enemy fire for risk of being blasted into another dimension. Poly Star was created to introduce geometry, counting, and math in a fun way. Poly Star’s clean lines, fun colors and simple graphics help the user to relate to the app and math in general.
Poly Star’s easy to use controls, many exciting features, and simplistic graphics set itself apart from other apps on the app store. Players can move freely by dragging their ship using the left side of the screen to avoid taking damage. Players can tap on the right side of the screen to fire lasers at their enemies and power ups alike! Sand Heaver writes:
“It is a very enjoyable side-scrolling shoot-em-up with great music and has a very clean, minimalist feel. Clearly a lot of love and attention has gone into the overall aesthetic.”
Another one of the great features that Poly Star has to offer is it upgrade system. Users accumulate stars by defeating enemies and bosses alike. These stars can be used to upgrade power ups, shielding, and the amount of lasers fired. These stronger power ups become crucial to surviving higher wave counts. With over seven power ups and eight different upgrades, Poly Star has a lot of gameplay for players to explore.
For players who have a knack for competition, Poly Star will save the user’s highest scores and post them to a global leaderboard so that they can compare themselves against other players across the world. Additionally, players also unlock achievements from defeating waves of enemies, avoiding damage, progressing quickly, defeating bosses, and using power ups effectively!
