Apeiron is the latest contribution from Ambrosia's resident
Macintosh
wizard, Andrew Welch, to Ambrosia's growing entertainment collection.
In a four Apple review, Mac Home Journal says: "...if you like
fast
paced arcade action, you're going to want this."
During a port through the looking glass, the mirror shatters and
your
ethereal energy (you know, the stuff that allows you to get up and go
to work on a Monday morning...)
is trapped within one of the crystal
shards. Immediately, the residents of the mushroom patch sense your
presence. Lead by the Pentipede, this motley crew of mushroom patch
misfits relentlessly hunt the crystal ( You! ), intent upon sucking out
the trapped energy. The Pentipede is a sinister creature that has the
ability to divide. So, if you think your troubles are over when you
shoot this sneakered psycho once, you are twice as wrong.
The Pentipede is joined by a ruthless assortment of animated
killers,
and your situation is further complicated by a few unpleasant
"environmental" hazards.
Luckily you are not defenseless; with plasma cannon blazing, you
must
hold out as long as possible. Shooting certain mushrooms can be very
beneficial to your mission. Several power up coins are scattered
throughout the garden. Find one of these and you can teach the
Pentipede and his pals the meaning of "full auto."
Inside Mac Games sums it up by saying "Apeiron's
astounding graphics
and sound coupled with its captivating gameplay make it a joy to play
and a worthy successor to a classic such as Maelstrom."
