Vaxis II: The Game

Vaxis II: The Game was a 3D endless runner browser game developed on the Anything World platform and released by Evil Ink on April 18, 2022 for free. Based on The Amory Wars's story, it features Nia Worn and Nostrand Crane as playable avatars trying to escape a HOSS facility and out run a mythical monster.

Gameplay
As an endless runner, the game is very simple: use your left and right keys to move left or right respectively and use the up and down keys to jump over or duck under obstacles respectively. There are power ups to collect in the form of what looks to be Quintillian Speaker containment units and HOSS guards will fire on you. You have three lives, meaning you can get hit or hit something three times before it's Game Over. Players accumulate points to achieve high scores.

Premise
Before you start the game for the first time, Nostrand and Nia's new robot companion, A51 tells you what's going on:"Our heroes Nostrand and Nia just stole a medical container, the only chance for survival of their child Vaxis. You must try to escape the corridors of the Pharma Company and smuggle out the precious medicine. Avoid soldiers and the other obstacles. Run as far as you can. Don't fall behind or the pharma creature will get you. Save Vaxis!"This is also the core plot of the first chapter of album's story.

Featured Content
Players could choose from one of two: The only location is the "Pharma Company" which is likely the HOSS's House Doxt company.
 * Nostrand Crane (Creature)
 * Nia Worn (Sister Spider)

When booting up the game, it asks you for permission to either Spotify or Apple Music and as you play will play "The Liars Club", "Shoulders", & "Rise, Naianasha (Cut the Cord)" through one of those services. You can play without giving access and the songs will simply not play.

Development & Release
There is currently no information regarding the development of the game. On the credits page, it was also mentioned that the weapon models were created by austincford, while the military containers were made by Avatar of Epic_Hard_RU and the crates were made by LuddePudde.

Reception
Kenneth Shepard at Fanbyte gave the game a pretty positive review, especially when comparing it to Evil Ink's lack-luster Fall of the Keywork app, saying excitedly that the game was "entirely functional!"

Trailer
Anything World posted a short clip of the game on their Twitter account. You can find it here.
