With a touch of your finger, become a powerful deity and reclaim your kingdom! From the developers of Dandara and Dandara Trials of Fear Edition, comes Magenta Arcade II, a frantic shoot-'em-up in which your finger is the main character. Instead of piloting a starship or controlling an avatar like other games in the genre, you use your own finger on the touchscreen to shoot waves of projectiles across the game world, becoming a powerful (and somewhat petty) deity. The brilliant and eccentric scientist Eva Magenta is set on kicking you out of the kingdom and turning your faithful followers against you. She will be aided by the rest of the Magenta family, a quirky, engaging, and challenging cast of antagonists. Throughout each stage, you will face over a dozen types of 'Robotos' — the ingenious inventions of the Magenta family, uniquely designed to defeat you. Survive blasts and projectiles, smash the scenery, shoot your enemies, face insane bosses, and test your mettle against each member of the Magenta family! - No need to play the original! Magenta Arcade II is a brand-new entry in the Magenta universe and does not require any previous knowledge. Whether you're a returning fan or a newcomer, fun is guaranteed. A fresh take on the shoot-'em-up genre in Magenta Arcade II: - Direct Touch Controls: Your finger is the 'ship'. The screen is your battlefield. - Over-the-top Action: Fast-paced gameplay, screen-filling explosions, enemies that will test your touch. - Quirky and Original Story & Characters: Face a whimsical — and challenging — family of mad scientists. - Break the Fourth Wall: No mediations between the game world and your own. - Highly Replayable: Unlock new challenges, uncover secrets, and beat high scores. Magenta Arcade II offers a world of frantic action, whimsical humor, and electric challenges just a touch away, whether you are commuting, in bed, or in a waiting room. Download now and show the Magentas who is boss! __ Magenta Arcade II was made possible with support from the Paulo Gustavo Law (Complementary Law No. 195/2022), through the BH nas Telas – Paulo Gustavo Edition program by the Municipal Department of Culture of Belo Horizonte.
