Maelstrom 3D | | |
English:
Maelstrom 3D is essentially a 3D version of Asteriods with some extra goodies included. It was a finalist in a 2002 competion for a college course entitled "Introduction to Computer Graphics."
The boundries of your flying area are determined by a checkered box. When you leave through one side of this cube, you reappear on the opposite end, in much they same way as asteroids except in 3 dimensions.
There are three different views in this game:
First person view is a view from your spaceship looking forward.
Third person view is looking towards your spacecraft from behind and above. This view allows you to see any asteroids which may be coming towards you from behind. And the static view as its name impies allows you to look at the whole asteroid belt from a fixed location.
You earn oints by shooting asteroids and other objects and collecting power ups. The first level is dificult and the higher levels are even much more so.
