About Brute
Brute is a challenging arcade game with a minimalist aesthetic. It's a game about planning, timing and discovery featuring an atmospheric soundtrack and sounds made from analog synthesizers.
Getting through the 25 main stages is a challenge, finishing all 50 is harder but completing all 100 levels will be a true test of skill. For the ultimately insane there's also par times for each level that take into account speed, fuel usage and objects shot. Brute is a game which does not explain itself, encouraging the player to poke at it to see how things react and behave.
Game Features:
This is the first game by sound designer Michael Manning (Signal From Tölva, Rogue System, MirrorMoon EP) featuring graphic design and music contributions from Tyler Barber.

[h1] Thrust using fuel and try to shoot yellow targets. Control with mouse, gameplay is not the worst. Simple visuals with nice presentation. Playable but you must like simple games. [/h1]3 found this helpful
I don't get why touching the walls kills you. This game already has lasers and enemies and floaty movement so why are there tight tunnels with walls that kill me? I honestly think it would be way more fun if you just bounced off them. Level 22 was where I reached my personal limit of time investment. I like a lot of stuff about this game like the style and concept but the payoff is not worth the frustration for me.3 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/aUB5XsROJ6w A lot of great stuff is done right for this precision focused dual stick shooter, especially with the presentation. The big negative is that the difficulty is just over the line from fun to pain.2 found this helpful

Good Game. Nice color schemes. Real hard!1 found this helpful
A fantastic game! Brute appears very simple at first but quickly ramps up and you realize the skill ceiling is quite high. Brute is frequently compared to N++, that's a fair comparison, I would simply add that there is more potential here than in N++, there just isn't enough of it. Unfortunately, at the time of playing, it is very short. I would love to see the ability for players to create maps or something along those lines, this could have a much longer life if that was implemented.1 found this helpful
