Hello and thanks for tuning into this, indie game headquarters, preview of Pyroclysm!

The IGHQ gang had a chance to sit down with an exclusive preview build of this modern take on the missile defense genre.

Even after giving our best, over and over, we found this game fairly intense and challenging. Needless to say, this game takes missile defense to the next level and keeps your toes curled as you struggle to maintain your status, as the salvation for your people.

The setting goes like this:

In a near future, as a transient meteor storm ravages your galaxy, literal brimstone from space falls from the sky at varying rates. It's your job now, as the only person on the planet, able to press a button to fire a lazer at these nasty balls of slag, raining down on your poor population.

It's up to you, since, like I said before, no-one else on the planet apparently has any skill at button pressing, to defeat this, hellish onslought of oncoming fiery asteroids as you blast your way through 50 waves, spanning across 5 fiendish levels in this extreme version of missile defense.

Crack your knuckles and do your finger exercises, you'll need to get ready for this hand-eye co-ordination game, coming later this year for iOS and flash devices.
