Three Ways To Play
As a Time Sweeper there are three ways to play through the adventures
in Blinx 2.
Single-player Mode
You can choose to meet all challenges by yourself. Many Time Sweepers
prefer solo play, facing enemies and using Time Controls without
assistance.
Have a friend who wants to get in on the action? No problem! You can
switch from Single-Player Mode to Two-Player Co-op Mode at any point
Two-player Co-op Mode
You can team up with another
Time Sweeper to face challenges
together. In Novice mode you
each play as you normally would.
In Specialist mode you divide
tasks between you. For example,
you can take on the job of attack
specialist, going after enemies
while your buddy handles the Time Controls.
vs. Mode
In Vs. Mode you and your friends can cut loose and battle the way you
want! Playing in Vs. Mode is different in many ways from the Single-
Player and Two-Player Modes. Here are some of the differences.
Two to four players can fight at the same time either individually or
in teams. After you’ve played a match, you can save your match and
team information for future use.
You can set options such as number of rounds, lengths of the rounds,
and the victory requirements.
You can give orders to your team members to attack, seek out items,
or wait while you move around by yourself. Press the
button
to switch among these commands.
You can use equipment and weapons only available in Vs. Mode,
including jetpacks and special barriers.
During each battle, weapons, ammo, and Time and Space Controls
appear on the battlefield. Be on the lookout for these and get to
them before your opponents.
You can pick up weapons you find on the battlefield, but you may
have to search for the right kind of ammo if they’re not loaded.
When you take out an enemy player, you’ll see colored orbs come
raining down. Stronger opponents give up more orbs, whereas
weaker opponents give up fewer, and you can’t collect orbs of your
own color. Snatch up as many as you can to gain points; the player
with the most points wins the match!
Spend your hard-earned money on weapons and
equipment to take into the next round of battle!
You can use Time or Space Controls in special ways available only in
Vs. Mode. For example, REW makes your opponents revert to an
infant state, making them smaller and more vulnerable. Experiment
with your controls to see what happens!
