Our take on Probe
Players who struggle to keep track of both the probe and enemy fire may hit the wall when ships collide with the probe or a ball drops into the void. Tricky situations can also call for planning ahead, so quick reflexes alone may not carry every level.
What is Probe?
Probe is a 2D arcade block breaker with space-shooter elements.
Use a probe and bullets to destroy data blocks and galactic enemies across 50 levels. Bullets can keep the probe from falling into the void, while enemy fire and ship collisions can knock it out of play. Collect and combine 6 power-ups, and plan ahead when a level presents a tricky situation. The game also includes Xbox controller support, 80+ achievements, in-game statistics, and leaderboards for individual levels and overall high scores.
