A Blast From The Past Reviews

Great game. If you liked the one from the past you'll love this one. Would like to see a little more variety in the levels but overall excellent! And now after playing for a while, I really, really enjoy it! Maybe even a little more than the oldies!!

This game is very very cool. I was recommended it by Mr Cuffy and I was NOT disappointed. Thank soooooo much for making my life better with this game. xxxxxxx

This game needs to exist in an arcade cabinet. This is sweet as a nut! and for £4.99, definitely worth it!

Yeah, it's Galaxians alright, just not as we know it. Improved and stylish graphics, inventive attack patterns - really enjoyed my only game so far. APPARENT BUG ALERT + Every boot in subsequently results in the 'connecting' screen, endlessly, never letting me in. Also it won't allow Steam to stop it. Restarts required, etc. Unplayable. I can't be arsed to chase this up on Discord. Yo! Mighty Dev - please patch this 'un - your game is xlnt and I wanna play. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Hope you notice this , Mr. Dev. The game boots up fine, thanks for that. However, It still won't stop, and hangs around in background processes. Restart needed .Couldn't find you on Discord, may try to find the steam forums.

My impressions video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IozL0d3He8 A Blast from the Past is essentially the new Galaga that Bandai Namco isn't giving us and it offers a great presentation and package for a small price. If you know Galaga, you largely know how this plays. If not, a quick glance at my video or a trailer will lay it out for you. While it doesn't share everything with its inspiration (personally, I miss the twin ship capture mechanic), it plays very well and looks great. There are a ton of levels, many of which offer up their own gameplay twists, and there are additional modes available, with more on the way. There are even online leaderboards, something rarely seen in a game with this price point. This title seems to have sadly slipped under most people's radar, but if you like shmups and especially if you like Galaga, don't skip this one! There's a demo so you can try it to make sure but as a fan of the original, I think this is a great modernization.

Saw the Parallax video about it today and had to come check it out for myself. I'm a huge fan of the old school game that this is inspired by, and they nailed it! So much fun. Small changes to modernize it, but it works- I do miss the ability to have a ship captured and try to get it back for the bonus shooting, but the other changes (power-ups etc) seem to make up for it. Will be playing this a LOT when I just need to get a quick gaming fix! Well done!

Loving this, If you like Galaxian/Galaga 88 this is a great modern remake! The graphics and sound are excellent and it plays like a real old school shooter!

If this game had been made when Galaga and Galaxian were THIS would be the one you remember. A truly well polished well done retro game that looks and plays superbly like you imagine it would. It is literal peanuts in cost and worth twice the asking price. Addiction here we come then. Well done dev/s a winner. Hoping this is one of many more games to come. 10/10 a very rare 'what it says is what it does score.

Fun game, but I feel like there should be an option to have more than 2 shots or to speed up the travel of the two shots. My mind wants to approach this like Galaga, which has fast bullets, and I can mash the fire button. Enable that mode, and this game would be perfect.

This game belongs in an arcade cabinet! Pickup and play arcade blasting action, the difficulty curve is just about perfect! Incredible super smooth graphics and gameplay... I can't believe this runs at 120hz on my Mac! Hats off to the team, this game is incredible. What a bargain. Be warned though, this game is addictive... You will be trying to beat your hi-score every time you play!
