Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — A gameplay screenshot showing an Omega Exoform attacking a more primitive Exoform. Atomega is a multiplayer-only action game. Played from a first-person perspective, eight players compete against each other to gain "mass" in order to score points. Players assume control of a simple Exoform when a match starts, and they must search the arena for cubes. By collecting these cubes, the player gains points and mass, which allows the Exoform to evolve to become larger and more sophisticated. The ultimate form is known as Omega Exoform, which is massive and powerful. The player who has the most mass by the end of the 10-minute match will win the game. To gain more points, players can engage in combat with other Exoforms, which when defeated, it will deform and its mass will be disintegrated. Different forms have different properties. For instance, the Prime is slow but powerful, while Saur is weaker but faster. Players can also teleport away from enemies in combat situations, but they will lose some of their mass and devolved into a smaller Exoform. There are also "hacks", which are golden cubes that give Exoform additional skills such as healing and knocking off opponents when they are collected.
