Omega Blast

Omega Blast is the third game of Episode Ω. The game has you shooting beams at Omega's approaching eyes, and trying to land a high score.

How to Play
The gameplay of Omega Blast is generally very simple; you shoot a beam at the incoming targets, and can detonate the beam when ready. You can direct your attack with the guideline shown on the screen,making it easier to set up shots.

The real meat of Omega Blast is its scoring system. Points are awarded for targets destroyed in the beams detonation, not the targets on the beam itself. For example, if you hit six targets with the beam, but the explosion only hits one other target, you only get one point.

That isn't to say that you should avoid hitting targets directly - the more targets on the beam, the bigger the blast radius is when detonated. Balancing the number of targets on the beam and the field is a core aspect of the game.

There are special orange targets that move faster, that start appearing during the mid sections of the game. Hitting these with the beam gives you a huge boost to your explosion radius. However, catching them in an explosion does not gain you extra points, so it it worth keeping them out for powering your explosions.
