Reactive is a new genre in gameplay. Reactive can be played like a 2D shooter if you play it in Deathmatch or Capture the Flag mode. This can be done over network or by using splitscreen or both.
The single player quest however is a puzzle style game. There are over 25 visually stunning levels where you need to manipulate your environment to get to the exit.
In reactive you control a 2-legged chameleon armed with 9 different weapons. You manouvre in a 2D world where everything is interactive.
You can for example bust a dam to flood your enemies. In fact the fluid simulation is a key aspect of playing reactive. In the world of Reactive there are 24 unique materials that can react with each other.
There are 5 gasses, 6 liquids and 13 solids. It is for example possible to let water drip on lava. The water will heat up and turn into damp.
By controlling these reactions you can work your way through the quest levels, in the multiplayer level you can use your understanding of the reactions to boobytrap your enemies.
