Vortex Attack World Championship Series Has Begun

Developer Kaleido Games has announced that the Vortex Attack World Championship Series has begun.

Vortex Attack is an arcade coin-op frantic shooter with regular online tournaments and is based on the addictive old coin-ops that have eaten so many of our quarters. It started small but it has become a full grown arcade game with its own dedicated cabinet . It all feels very retro, but modern. The developer has spent a very long time tweaking everything, and promises that it’s a lot of fun now.

Vortex Attack, after all, is more or less a spin-off Galaga with a lot of extras that modern technology allows us to implement today.
