Gratuitous Space Shooty Game Reviews

Proper old school shootemup vibes :-)

Simple yet fun game. Wish they would add mouse support and achievements but it is still a good game without it.

The game is what is says it is, and have enjoyed my 16 minutes with it so far. Definitely worth the asking price.

I've been a supporter of Positech Games and have several of their titles in my library (going back to Kudos back in the mid 2000's). There's a reason I own/play so many of these games. They're quality, and in the case of this title, it's quality/causal. In terms of Gameplay, I've only got about 90 minutes in so far, but expect this will be seeing more time over the next days and week. It starts extremely reminiscent of Space Invaders, at least for me it scratches that itch. The game play ramps up though and very very quickly becomes it's own experience. It comes off as a simple shooter with different power ups you can spend your XP on. The value per dollar spent on this, and every other Positech game I've played, is silly. I've spent comically little money on these games and have gotten massive entertainment out of several titles. If you look at the description and are on the fence, then buy it. If you look at the description and screen shots and it looks like something you'd hate, I respect that. But if you're not sure, take a shot. Personally, I was able to get it to work on my steam deck, but it was glitchy and my high score did not sync between Windows and Steam Deck. The description calls out that it's a Windows only product, so no getting pissy with the developer if you try it and it doesn't work perfectly for you.
