Apeiron is a wild high-speed arcade-style variant on the old Centipede game. According to the author: “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. Led by the Pentipede, these critters relentlessly hunt the crystal, intent upon sucking the trapped energy out. Luckily you are not defenseless; with plasma cannon blazing, you must hold out as long as possible.”
What you need
Apeiron requires System 6.07 or later and a 256 color/gray scale monitor 13” or larger (640x480 pixels or greater).
