Pilots!

The latest update for Strike Vector is now available!
We had to delay the Bomber mode (again) but this update includes a new map called Gravity. It takes place at an altitude where Vectors react in a “slightly” different way. So prepare to forget all that you’ve learned and go get a pile of puke bags.
We added a very easy challenge-pack to help beginners mastering the basics of the game and a very hard one for the scoring addicts.
We’ve been working on improvements to make the game more friendly to new players while keeping its unique spirit. It’s just a start though, so stay tuned.

Feel free to share your feedbacks to help us improving the game even more.


NEW FEATURES

- “Gravity” map added. Mounths of hard training and finally, it’s now, your first space fight.
- 1 easy challenge-pack added : always unlocked, it consists of 5 challenges we called “Tutorial”. It should help you guys getting the basics of moving and aiming in Strike Vector.
- 1 hard challenge-pack added : as usual, it requires at least 7 points on pack D to unlock.
