Jump back into the action with Vectorman 2, the classic 1996 run-and-gun platformer developed by BlueSky Software for the Sega Genesis. In this direct sequel, our robotic hero crash-lands on a mutated Earth and must battle through swamps and volcanic wastelands infested with deadly insectoid enemies. Known for its impressive pre-rendered 3D graphics and fluid animation, this beta version offers a fascinating look at the game’s development.
How to Play
Your objective is to blast your way through each level, defeating mutant insects and gathering photons to survive. Navigate the tricky terrain and utilize Vectorman’s various transformations to overcome specific hazards. For the default browser controls, use the arrow keys to move, Z, X, and C for your A, B, and C Genesis face buttons (jumping and shooting), and Enter to start or pause the game.
Tips
- Shoot everywhere! Many walls and ceilings hide secret power-ups and extra lives that are crucial for surviving later stages.
- Don’t rush through the levels. Take your time to safely eliminate enemies from a distance, as the insectoid mutants can quickly overwhelm you if you charge in blindly.
- Make full use of the new transformations like the rhino or shield bug forms, as they provide unique offensive and defensive capabilities tailored for specific enemy encounters.
