GEON is an Arcade game published by Strawdog Studios released in 2008.

GEON is an arcade style of game, which means that it is fast paced and meant for short gaming sessions, much like classic arcade cabinets.

GEON is probably good for short gaming sessions when you do not want to get too deeply involved with a game.
