Released one year after the original Vectorman , the game retains the game's core gameplay while expanding its mechanics. Multiple attempts to create a Vectorman 3 were proposed to Sega, with none of them coming to fruition. Gameplay Gameplay screenshot The gameplay is similar to the first Vectorman game. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The game plays as a 2D action platformer . [ 4 ] The player maneuvers the main character, Vectorman through levels by running and jumping, and attacking enemies primarily through shooting projectile attacks. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The game consists of 22 levels; more than the original game's 16, but levels in the game are generally shorter and smaller than ones found in the original. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] Like the original, Vectorman has a simple shooting mechanism by default that shoots in a straight line, but weapon upgrades that change and increase damage are collectable through levels. [ 2 ] Vectorman may again morph into different forms with different abilities too, now done by defeating enemies; defeating a scorpion enemy will morph Vectorman into a scorpion and allows him to walk on particularly hot surfaces without taking damage, while defeating a rhinoceros beetle give Vectorman a large horned head he can ram into enemies. [ 2 ] [ 6 ] The game retains the same health system; a life bar made of orbs monitors Vectorman's health; taking damage lowers the number of orbs, while collecting "health orbs" restore it. [ 7 ] If all health is lost before Vectorman can be directed to the end of a level, a life is lost and progress through the level is reset, causing the player to start over. [ 2 ] Adjustable difficulties may be selected by the player as well. [ 6 ] Story After saving Earth in the previous game, Vectorman's spaceship is targeted and destroyed by a missile. Vectorman escapes and parachutes down to the planet, landing by an old research facility. While investigating the area, Vectorman finds aggressive and destructive mutant insects inhabiting the area. Vectorman takes it upon himself to explore and eliminate the mutant insects to save the planet. Unlike the post-apocalyptic setting of the first game, Vectorman traverse a wide range of modern settings until coming across the source infestation: the evil Black Widow Queen .
