Evoids

Oids on the Atari ST is one of my favourite games ever and i spent so much time playing and making my own levels in it back in the day. After playing Evoids for a little while i can already tell its a very good modern version of Oids and i had a lot of fun.

Excellent little pick up and play game. A spiritual successor to the Atari ST game Oids - for those not in the know think of Thrust (C64) or Solar Jetman (NES) – with a small spaceship fighting against gravity through dense cave systems. Starts a little slow, but devious level design and solid mechanics make this probably the definitive title in the genre at the moment. Online leaderboards and an easy to use and fast to iterate on level editor (with Steam Workshop support) are the icing on the cake. Only criticisms are some of the levels are a bit too hard for their billing (I found some of the medium difficulty levels harder than many of the insane ones) and not having a time trial mode is a missed opportunity.
