About Protolife: Other Side

Protolife: Other Side - is arcade game which can also be called as "reverse tower defense". You have to lead squads of alien creatures though the ever-growing defense line on miltiple locations. The more creatures you save the easier it will be to reach the main goal: find the interplanet transport and evacuate.

Plot


One year passed since Protolife game events. Mankind started colonization of new planet. It was called Planet of Leonov (aka Leo-Nóva). The alien biotechnologies was found on this planet too. But this time the alien core was found and blasted with orbital strike, avoiding heavy ground combat.
Alien overseer who also acts as backup core decides to evaculate survived creatures from planet. He's scared. Scared not of humans.

Features

  • 5 species of creatures with own abilities
  • 4 common abilities
  • 6 zones with different level architecture
  • partially destructible landscape
  • familiar towers and buildings from original Protolife (as enemies this time)
  • new towers and buildings
  • each level must be beaten several times in order to evacuate as much creatures as possible. Each attempt is harder than the previous one.
  • special missions which affect the other levels

Controls


Keyboard, keyboard+mouse or gamepad. You directly control leader's movement, other creature follow the leader. Also you may activate one of the abilities for the whole squad.

Reverse TD + level designs + interesting mechanics = Squirm around and avoid getting shot by the towers. Escaping gets harder with each wave. You can also dig through areas by sacrificing units.

This game is a great example of how to make a boring game. It's too slow, the strategy elements are weak, and it's just not satisfying. It's also very short, I was able to complete it within the 2 hour refund period. Would not recommend.

Not nearly as good as the original. The graphics aren't as interesting and i'ts lacking the intrigue the pixel art style of the original game had.

Liked the first. This has potential but too buggy and jank with missions being single tries, no replay option to explore different game mechanics. Final mission bugged out with a 'shield' that was created to block your path that could be destroyed, but after it regenerated once, it was impossible to destroy again despite entire map being cleared of the units that made the shield making for a very boring and impossible finally. Also. Replay value sucks. Missions cannot be redone to improve. You can only continue to the next mission and work towards finishing the game or restart the game from the first mission if you want to achievement hunt, you cannot replay any mission. Highly monotonous.

A bit short, a bit undercooked, a bit jank. At times it looks like an advanced tech demo. Still, I enjoyed it. Once I understood how enemy reacts and that there are no strict limitations for passing missions - I was able to let go and just enjoy the gameplay.
