Similar to Encounter, the 1984 Atari 800 game, Backlash is a first person shooter set on a desolate planet where hostile alien vehicles emerge from the ground. Slow-moving, dodgeable fireballs are used by both the player and the enemies. Progress is indicated by the planet having a day/night cycle, where every day has a new color scheme. The game has an extremely clean art style and interface, and the audio sounds like generated sounds only.

  • Got the score 82656. I used a double spawn camping technique I discovered as a kid, lining up two spawn points and continually shooting over them. It does not work for later enemy types, however, as some of them fire immediately when spawning. Also, I have started charging directly at the Seekers, and then reversing when they get close.
  • The sound of your own shots have a delay effect on them, a weird auditory illusion considering that the player is in a completely open space.
