Harmotion's Pleasing Shmup Motions

- Over at Posty's ever-genial Shoot The Core blog, he's been posting about the interesting PC indie shooter Harmotion, and how it's a 'good' time waster for him.

He explains of the game: "The backbone of the game is an online 2 player head-to-head vs. shmup, which keeps track of your stats and ranks you against other players. Everything is free, you get the full version and only need to create an account in order to fight other shmuppers. Or you can even just play the one player game, if that's what floats your boat."

Pretty sure that Harmotion, though we briefly mentioned it before, has been excessively slept-on, so everyone, let's go tango with it! (The site describes it: "Imagine a player vs. player crossover of Geometry Wars, Giga Wing, and Rez." Oo!)

Posty further details of fun tactics for the game: "Once you figure the basic formula for winning matches (grab a secondary weapon, power up the main shot, and cut the screen in half with firepower, forcing them over to the sides), the game gets a bit repetitive. However fighting each different race does require some variation of strategies, just pray you don't fight the blue ship pictured here. Harmotion is a great concept and lots of fun challenging other shmup fans online."
