About This Game

Return Home is a abstract horizontal scrolling shooter with 2D gameplay. The game is randomised and altered dynamically according to how well you play.

Shooting/destroying enemies and collecting blue chips increases your anger, reflected in the transformation of the player ship. The higher your anger the more you will score and the more difficult the game will become. Death will not normally end the game, instead your anger level is reduced and you must wait a few seconds to respawn. As you improve single bullets will turn into waves of lasers and levels will morph and change.

Key Features

9 stage types, all differently dynamic and infinitely variable
13 game modes to unlock from score chasing set level sequences to one life extended single stages
Settable SEED values allowing a player to seek out the optimum scoring stage generation or regenerate the same level from a friends score attempt
Steam Leaderboards, chase friends scores or better every player in the world

Fun little abstract shmup with short procedurally generated levels, they take a set amount of time with unlimited lives but you will lose your multiplier when you die. Use the fire button to shoot forward and the split button to split and widen your shot.

Return Home is the perfect 5 minute game, stages are procedurally generated but familiar enough that you can work on strategies to up your score. Difficulty scales to your ability throughout the run. Solid aesthetic, fantastic soundtrack, tons of leaderboards to compete for. Then change it all up with Core mode for a new challenge. Best part is the original version of this game, Leave Home, is included in here as well. Since XBLA no longer exists, it's great to have that game in my life again. Hello 2009! You can totally afford this game.

Blinding little score attack game with a great soundtrack and a devious auto difficulty mechanic. Check it out.
