Learn more about Vektor

Last time we brought you the first in the series of our three features on escapeVektor. In this second instalment, we tell you about another enemy type, as well as details on the secrets and achievements to be uncovered in the title.

Anti-Hunter tactics, exits to hidden areas and the key to Vektor’s memory

escapeVektor™ is a retro styled arcade game in which the player controls Vektor, an entity trapped inside the player’s CPU. Each node (level) consists of a series of interconnected lines which form cells. These are claimed as Vektor moves along them. Claiming all of the cells in a node unlocks the exit to the next node, bringing Vektor closer to his escape.

However, this is no ordinary CPU. It has held Vektor captive for what feels like an eternity and it doesn’t want him to leave now. As Vektor progresses with his escape, the CPU sets up obstacles and sends out its army to destroy him.

We told you about about those dumb Patrols in the first part of our escapeVektor feature. We also described the dangerous Electric Fences and Cannons, not to mention Vektor’s useful abilities. Now it’s time to find out about another enemy and see how you get Vektor out of there. (more…)
