How do you go about making a five dollar game worth $30 to $40? That's a question the folks at Kuju have been asking themselves as they go about bringing XBLA fave Geometry Wars to the Wii and DS in the form of Geometry Wars: Galaxies. The answer seems to involve saves, stages, and bosses.

In an interview with Modojo, Producer Roger Carpenter broke it all down:

We've created a Galaxy, full of solar systems and planets. Each planet is an infinitely playable battle, equivalent to the original Retro Evolved if you like. Saving happens every time a game state changes, usually at the end of a battle or when you get a high score. The currency system in the game determines how the game unlocks before you, so difficulty is handled through that. You can replay any battle as many times as you like, thats part of the Geometry Wars formula.

You'll also be able to download a full version of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved from the Wii to your DS. Carpenter also said that the DS version is "going to get more multiplayer action than the Wii version."
