Reflective Layer announced the release of Vega a space based, arcade style casual game for the PC and Mac.
The goal of the game is to get resources to your space station as fast as possible. Players control a ship that guides the resources to their space station as they are falling from above.

The resources provide the power for the shield for the space station and feed the people on the space station. Vega goes beyond just collecting resources for the space station. Players need to keep an eye on the space ship that is collecting resources. If the fuel or air levels get too low, the space ship is at risk and needs to go in for a landing.

Players work their way through 10 different levels. The levels get harder as they progress. The harder levels involve the environment, such as dust storms and meteor showers.

Press Release Follows:

Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA – June 23, 2008 – Reflective Layer(reflectivelayer.com) today announced the release of Vega, a space based arcade styled casual game where speed and accuracy is everything.

In Vega, the player starts with a based station that needs resources badly. As these needed resources fall from above, the player must use a small rescue ship to control the direction of these resources and direct them onto a landing pad where they will be collected and used by the station to power its shield and feed its people.

In the meantime, the player must keep a watchful eye on the fuel and air levels inside the rescue ship, landing it safely onto the same landing pad before either run out. The player can choose to control up to 4 rescue ships depending on his or her skill level. The more ships a player has, the easier it might be to get to the falling resources before they hit the ground and explode.

There are a total of 10 levels in Vega. The game becomes progressively harder with each level challenging the player to be aware of his or her surroundings. The environment itself becomes active in later levels. In one level there’s a massive dust storm brewing on the ground which completely covers the landing pad reducing visibility to 5%. In another level a fierce meteor shower is raging while fire rains down from the sky.

A dynamic backdrop in Vega complements the environment and foreground elements in the game, ensuring that every level looks and feels different.
