Home of the Underdogs - Entry: Every Extend
Every Extend is a very polished, highly addictive coffee-break action game from Japanese designer OMEGA. Like all addictive action games, Every Extend is very easy to learn, but hard to leave. Your only goal in this "kamikaze shooter" is to blow yourself up at the optimal moment to destroy the highest number of color blocks. With good timing, you can create a lot of chain reactions from exploding blocks.
IGN: TGS 2005: Mizuguchi's New Game
The idea behind the game is to collect enemy objects and make them explode. You have to avoid enemy objects and gather them in the center of the screen. Bring together a certain number of enemies, and they will explode. You'll apparently be able to gather enemies together in excess of one hundred.
