World Championship series has started.

It's free to enter: by just buying the game in Steam is enough.
We want this championship be the first of many. While there are many players playing them we will carry on organizing new tournaments.

Welcome to the League of the Extraordinary Vortices.

The championship:

Vortex Attack has been designed specially for beating each-others hi-scores (like the old days). After all, it's more or less a spin-off Galaga™ with a lot of extras that modern technology allows us to implement today. But, we have gone a step further and we have created the tournaments system where anybody can create a tournament with its own rules. With this, we are organizing now the first Vortex Attack World championship and everybody is invited to join it. No bad for a one man band, Indie developer , right?
