Hello everyone,
Just a post to help out a friend here. He's been working on this game for a while, and he released it's prequel, the highly successful Waves, a few years ago.
The original Waves was all about achieving single player high scores, and Waves: Arena Tactics has borrowed on that, but evolved it into a multiplayer franchise.
Having played the original Waves, and demoed Waves: Arena Tactics, I can tell you they are pretty fun, and highly addictive.
I would love if the BoLS community could help in getting Rob closer to the goal.
The kickstarter is mainly to get the soundtrack and art done, and also deal with his expenses as a developer. Which is explained in the video on the kickstarter page:

A description of the game from the man himself:
Arena Tactics is about playing with the possibilities of a multiplayer twin-stick shooter. It borrows heavily from RPGs, Shooters and Living Card Games.
"Blow up your friends or the AI in multiplayer for loot drops and highscores." - however there is so much more to the game with 13 game modes to choose from.At it's core you are trying to find pieces of equipment/loot to pimp out your "ship". The different game modes will drop loot as you play as well as bonus loot for doing really well (such as beating your previous high score or that of your friends). Examples of Loot might be some Shield Boosters or a new gun, if you have too many of these you can sell them for in game currency and spend the credits in the shop to buy items you've not found yet.Different combinations of equipment enable different play styles. You could combine Gyroscope Enhancers and a Cloaking Device to try and speed your way through levels without actually fighting anybody or you could specialise in crowd control with EMP devices and stunning lighting cannons.

If you can help you will be worthy of my eternal love. :D
