Description

Developed by Nnooo, escapeVektor is a retro styled arcade game in which the player controls Vektor, an entity trapped inside the player's CPU. The player has to help Vektor escape the CPU which has been holding him captive. In making his escape, Vektor must get through obstacles and avoid enemies, each with different hunting patterns and intelligence. As the player completes the various levels in the game, escape becomes more difficult. New abilities unlock to help the player outwit and destroy the CPU's army. As the player continues through the game, old code and memories are unlocked which reveal more about Vektor's past.

History

escapeVektor was originally planned as a four part series. The first part, escapeVektor: Chapter 1, contained 30 levels and was released on WiiWare in September 2011, receiving critical acclaim. Given the limited audience for WiiWare, Nnooo decided to bring the full 150 level game, entitled escapeVektor, to Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, releasing it on these platforms at the end of 2012/beginning of 2013.
