Original game imageAbout
Tempest is a 1981 Atari arcade tube shooter designed by Dave Theurer, in which the player controls a claw-shaped blaster that snaps between segments along the rim of a three-dimensional tube-like surface, firing at enemies emerging from the far end. SpaceTwitch is billed as a faithful remake of Tempest, built by a small team (Anthony Dao, Chase Khamashta, Orlando Salvatore) for browser play on Kongregate. The player moves between lanes shooting at enemies approaching from a distance while dodging incoming enemy fire.
How it differs from the original
It adds collectible power-ups, such as cloned ships, quicker shots, and additional shots, that were not part of the original Tempest.
Getting started
Playable directly in the browser via its Kongregate page.
