What is Geon?
Following on from its debut on Xbox Live Arcade in 2007 comes the updated, definitive version of Geon! Developed specifically for the Wii with a plethora of brand new gameplay features and enhancements, Geon is a fast paced arcade action game played in an energised geometric grid environment.
Playing as a 'Geon' cube, players frantically race against up to three other opponents to collect pellets and then deposit them in the other competitors' goal to score, at the same time fighting desperately to prevent their opponents from scoring including the tactical use of eight powerballs. These have a variety of effects on the gameplay such as 'Rage' which lays down a layer of spikes that can block an opponent or trap them, and 'Greed' which sucks up pellets enabling the scoring of a fast goal. All of the powerballs significantly alters the ebb and flow of each game and allows each player to develop their own unique strategies in their quest to be the first to score five goals, win the game and be crowned the undisputed Geon champion!
