Surge Levels

The Surge Levels are one of the game mechanics in Power of Ten.

Description

With the Surge Levels, you will be able to add new conditions to each run you play in the game, making it increasingly more difficult and providing with achievements and great rewards by beating such levels. Have you managed to finish a run with all ships in the common way, and you don't know what else to do and it feels like it's time to uninstall the game? Please don't, as Surge Levels are certainly challenging for you heavy runners, so don't miss out on the Surge modifiers (e.g. lower health, higher number of enemies, bigger civilian saving requisites...) that will drive you crazy and be the next step in your gaming routine for Power of Ten.
