Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions continues the simplistic, arcade-style design of its predecessors.The general gameplay format is that players control a claw-shaped object which can shoot and move in any direction. The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible while avoiding geometrical enemies. Players have a set number of lives, and once all lives run out the game is over. In order to get a high score, players must collect geoms, jewel-like items that increase the score multiplier. The multiplier increases the number of points earned from defeating enemies, and is the key to playing competitively.

The controls are easy to pick up, but racking up a high score requires practice and some degree of skill.

In online multiplayer, players can compete against strangers. However, the game doesn't provide voice or chat support.
