Try to keep your VIP (the guy in white) alive as long as possible. The assassins will all try to shoot or stab him to death. You must do all you can to prevent this. Your reputation has preceded you, so the VIP has absolute confidence in your abilities and will completely ignore all the assassins. When an assassin is aiming at your VIP with a gun, you will psychicly see a line of sight extending from him to your VIP. This line will narrow and redden until it disappears and the assassin fires. Depending on the situation it may be best just to shoot the assassin(s), or to dive and tackle the VIP to the ground to avoid the bullet. Unfortunately your psychic powers do not show the line of sight of knife-wielding assassins. If you are feeling overwhelmed you can use psychic aiming to temporarily speed up your thought processes and aim your shots better. If there are no visible enemies you may want to release your soul and look for nearby enemies. When your soul is released your VIP pulsates between blue and red, civilians between black and red, and assassins are solid red. If you die or your VIP is killed.. the level restarts. If you are are interested in the theory behind this: you are a psychic bodyguard, so you can see small distances into the future. The failure only occured in a possible future which you are now going to try and avoid.

Black Shades Elite is an action game that is more or less similar to the original Black Shades "Psychic Bodyguard FPS". Kill anyone that tries to kill the VIP (the white guy). The psychic part is seeing blue lines when bad guys line up on the VIP (when the line is red they are about to shoot). Other powers (slow down, and visions) are available - press F1 for how to use.

It has a few more user friendly options (in the config.txt file) as well as a help menu. Aside from that the internals have had some major changes, but there is still a lot more to do. Other options include 3rd person (which was in the original game, just disabled). The other change that I enjoy is the lack of a busy loop - now cpu usage isn't 100% - on any recent system it should be less than 25%.

Feature and bug reports are encouraged. I'm sure it's buggy. Enjoy.

You can shoot into the black box and you can look where your shots go out of it. In the box crystals are reflecting your shots. You have to guess where the are hidden. This might sound a bit confusing. Just try it! It's really a nice game!

Mission and Objective based 3D Action game. This is episode 2 of the Blob Wars saga.

Bob had rescued many Blobs and fought many battles, but now he had an ever bigger task ahead of him. The Blobs' homeworld is still littered with the alien forces and Bob once again makes it his task to lead the counter attack. But even without Galdov the aliens are still extremely well organised...
