Aztec Power is a shooter with puzzle game elements. The player controls a rotating asteroid with eight mages on it. Mages fire projectiles that can be enhanced by three sets of runes floating above the asteroid. The player can change the direction of rotation of the asteroid and manipulate the setting of the runes. The goal is to destroy as many orbs as possible that are flying towards the asteroid. Don't let the orbs escape.
Watch out for colored orbs. The bullet must have the same color to destroy the orb.
Hundreds of years ago, the powerful Aztec priest Quaixtla was observing the night sky from atop his pyramid, when he noticed a strange anomaly. He immediately summoned the most talented mages from the farthest corners of the empire to identify the phenomenon. Painstaking research yielded shocking results, dark magic is spreading throughout the universe, consuming countless planets, stars and galaxies. Understanding the seriousness of the threat, they presented the results to the emperor. The ruler ordered the mages to stop the threat at all cost. "Aztec people are ready for sacrifice" – he said. After some time, a plan was created. Quaixtla sacrificed his life in a ritual that created magical asteroid that allowed to fly to the stars, reach the source of dark magic and destroy it with spells and runes. The remaining mages consumed countless Aztec hearts to achieve the immortality necessary to complete such a long journey. Now, after hundreds of years, the mages have reached their destination. It's time for the epic battle!
