Introduction:

Welcome to Energy Invasion, a game that tries to mix game ideas such as pong, brick breaking and light twin stick shooting. The concept of this game is pretty basic. You control a horizontal platform which can bounce the orb around and any projectiles you may shoot using the orb. The orb will move around the environment and by flicking the stick, you can shoot projectiles like in a twin stick shooter. Your goal is to shoot and destroy all the bricks in the levels. You also have to try and bounce the orb back into the direction of the bricks. If the orb passes you on the bottom of the screen you die and lose a life. That's all there is to the whole game. It's pretty basic but there is some fun to be had from time to time.

The game does require some good hand eye coordination but it is fairly easy when compared to other similar games .All the trophies are simple to obtain and are earned for just completion of the game. It's got some great music in the background and some nice visuals for a budgeted indie game. A cheap, easy and quick Platinum.

Walkthrough:

Step 1: Complete Invasion Mode (Finish Layer 25)

When initially starting the game, start playing on Invasion mode. You need to complete this mode by beating all 25 layers, either on easy or normal difficulty. In this mode, you need to break all the bricks to proceed through the layers. Sometimes green enemies spawn and shoot red orbs at you. If they hit you, you die instantly so avoid them. In the later levels, the game screen goes dark and you can see outlines of bricks and your orb. This only happens for a few seconds so try your best to focus.

Once you start the mode, make sure to complete all 25 Layers, as if you quit to the main menu you will have to restart from Layer 1 all over again so keep that in mind! There are no difficulty related trophies in the game, thus you can play it on easy to get through the game without any problems. Refer to the Platinum Trophy Guide Walkthrough Thread for a video guide on all the Layers you can find in this mode: LINK

Notes:

- Changing the difficulty to easy, will stop the green enemies from shooting red orbs at you. This is the only real threat in normal difficulty but you can choose to continue after losing all of your lives and get a game over. The only real penalty for continuing from the layer you died in, is that the game docks off your built up points.

- Also, not much is known about Health Pack as multiple different people have mentioned different ways of unlocking it. Rest assured you will unlock this trophy by the time you get through the first 15 layers of any game mode. Refer Health Pack for more information.

At the end of this Step, you should unlock:

Good Start
Interception
Intruders
Maneuver
Defense
Salvation
Health Pack

Step 2: Complete Linear Mode (Finish Layer 25)

In this step, start Linear Mode and complete all 25 layers. This is probably the hardest game mode as the bricks are not stationary in this mode. They will constantly move towards you as time goes on. Once the bricks reach you at the bottom of the screen, it's game over. You can still use Continues to reach the end of the mode and still earn all the trophies associated to this mode. As with the other game modes, you can lower the difficulty to easy, making it considerably more manageable. It has to mentioned that at later layers, the bricks do start closer to you and it gets harder to complete the levels but a couple retries and some practice will get you through.

At the end of this Step, you should unlock:

Parallelism
Linearity
Direction
Strip
Persistence

Step 3: Play Endless Mode (Finish Layer 30)

Lastly, start Endless Mode, which is truly endless! All you need to do is to complete Layer 30 to unlock all the trophies associated with Endless Mode. This is the easiest mode in the game as the bricks are far apart from you and they don't move. The game also rewards you plenty of life so you shouldn't technically run out. Again, you can lower the difficulty to easy so the green enemies don't shoot red orbs at you. This will speed the progression through Endless mode. Once you complete Layer 30, you should be done with all the trophies. You can keep going in Endless Mode but there's no real point. Either way, enjoy the easy and sweet new Platinum Trophy!

Invasion Mode features 25 Layers, where you need to destroy the bricks to progress. Destroying bricks quickly can rewards lives but it is not necessary. Even if you lose all your lives and get a game over, you can just continue the game from the same layer you died in but at the cost of losing your built up score. The game's default difficulty is Normal and the only other difficulty is Easy. The only differences between these two difficulties are that the green enemies that spawn in later layers do not shoot red orbs at you on Easy. It is recommended to play the game on easy so you can progress through the layers without much worry. You earn trophies for completion of the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th layers.

Once you beat Layer 25 and finish Invasion mode, this trophy will unlock.

Linear mode complete!
(1)
To earn this trophy you will need to finish Linear Mode by completing the 25th Layer.

In this mode, bricks are constantly moving towards you (bottom of the screen). Your goal is to destroy them before they reach you. If they reach you, it's game over. Even though this game is not hard, compared to other games in the genre, this is the hardest mode for this game. The starting few layers are simple but later layers are quite difficult. This is due to the fact that bricks start closer to you as you move up in layers. You will need to be quick in the later levels to complete them. As with the other game modes, you can use continues if you get a game over to carry on from the layer you died in. Again, the cost is your built up score. You can also lower the difficulty to make things even easier in this mode. You earn trophies for completion of the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th layers.

Once you beat Layer 25 and finish Linear mode, this trophy will unlock.

Passed level 30 in Endless mode
To earn this trophy you will need to finish the 30th Layer in Endless Mode. You can keep going if you would like but it's not necessary.

Endless Mode is basically what it says. Endless Layers to beat. You don't necessarily have a goal other than to get to survive as many layers as you can. This is the easiest game mode, as you will be rewarded tons of extra lives and unlike Linear Mode, the bricks in this mode do not move so you can destroy them at your leisure. More bricks do spawn every layer so keep that in mind. Green enemies do spawn in later layers but as with the other game modes, you can just lower the difficult to easy so they do nothing. Unlike the other modes, you cannot continue if you lose all your lives. Remember this mode is about survival so no second chances You earn trophies for completion of the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th layers. Once you finish Layer 30, this trophy will unlock.
Health pack

Got a special health pack bonus
Now this is the only trophy that does not have proper information. The trophy mentions to get a special health pack bonus to earn it but there are no special drops present in the game. It is a bit misleading and on top of that there are many different people claiming to have unlocked it by doing different things.

The theories so far are:
1. Break multiple Level 3 Bricks (the ones with 3 white swirls in them) quickly.
2. Go into frenzy state (Shoot projectiles really fast for a short time) by breaking multiple bricks quickly.
3. Destroy 3 or more bricks at the same time.
4. Gaining an extra life
More information is needed on what exactly triggers the trophy to unlock, but what is certain is that everyone has unlocked the trophy by the time they finish layers 5-15 in any game mode.

This walkthrough will be updated once the requirements are determined.
