About this game

Vortex Athena is a fast-paced, accessible space sandbox game where every decision counts. Pilot with one-button controls, manage your fuel, dodge the all-consuming black hole, and outmaneuver your opponents in intense matches. With a 2D papercut aesthetic, immersive sound, and a galactic narrative, each round feels like a mini-epic.

Synopsis
Four empires clash in the Conclave for the power of the Athena Stone. A betrayal unleashes a black hole at the center of the arena. Your mission is to survive the gravity, seize resources, and defeat the other pilots before the vortex reaches you.

How to Play
* Tap your ship's button to fire the thrusters and maneuver.
* Keep an eye on your fuel: collect it in the arena to stay in orbit.
* Avoid the black hole and environmental hazards.
* Activate Morse code abilities with the same button:
– “Guard” Shield: G = — — (dash, dash, dot) to cushion collisions.
– “Rocket” Orbital Missile: R = — (dot, dash, dot) to pursue the nearest enemy.
The ship confirms each code with a flash and an audible pulse.

Modes
* Local Multiplayer: Up to 4 players on the same device (ideal on tablets).
* Online Multiplayer: Quick matches with competitive matchmaking.
* Training: Interactive tutorial to learn controls and codes.

Key Features
* 1-Button Control: Easy to learn, difficult to master.
* Physics and Gravity: The central vortex constantly changes the battle.
* 2D Papercut Style: Handcrafted ships, debris, and effects with layers of depth.
* Immersive Audio: Original soundtrack, designed SFX, and cockpit confirmations.
* Dynamic events: asteroid belts, flares, and gravity variations.
* Customization: Collect and equip skins and visual effects.
* Tournaments and rankings: Compete, climb the ranks, and show off your achievements.

Accessibility
* Clear interface with a minimalist HUD and visual/audio cues for every action.
* High-contrast modes and colorblind options.
* Configurable haptic feedback and volume.
* Step-by-step guided tutorial, designed for all ages.

Narrative and Universe
The conflict between the GN-z11 (red), Tololo (blue), Macs (purple), and Green Pea (green) empires is told through cinematics and lore pieces that will be expanded with updates, a webcomic, and illustrated material.

Designed for co-op play
The local design favors room, family, or event play, while the online mode allows for quick duels anywhere. Perfect for 3- to 5-minute games that beg for "one more round."

Notes
* Free to play with optional in-app purchases.
* Recommended for tablets for local multiplayer.
* Requires connection for online features.

Get ready to fire your thrusters, read the space, and survive in the heart of the vortex. See you in the Conclave arena, pilot!
