Overview
Description

Bedlam flips the classic Tempest formula, placing your ship in the center of a sector while enemy craft surge outward from the edges. You steer left and right, using a Fast Rotate button to spin quickly and a single-use Zap to clear the screen when overwhelmed. The game features multiple enemy types, sector variations, and a simple ship‑loss mechanic that ends the game when all reserves are gone, offering both single‑player and multiplayer challenges for arcade enthusiasts.

TxK is a fast‑paced, tube‑shooter from Llamasoft that builds on the classic Tempest 2000 formula. It delivers vibrant, light‑filled visuals and a pulse‑pounding soundtrack designed for the PS Vita’s power, now playable on PC. The game adds fresh terrains, bonus rounds, new enemies and weapons, offering a relentless arcade experience for high‑score hunters. Its single‑player focus lets you dive into a sensory‑overload challenge that rewards skill and reflexes.
