Collider Reviews

Ridiculously addictive - and completely without mercy. First game in a long time to frustrate me so much that I have to *keep* trying. Runs very smooth, even on my onboard graphics on Linux. Compression is by far my favourite game mode, and I won't give up until I've mastered it. Kudos to the devs

This game lacks depth and gets boring quickly. This would make the perfect mobile game, but isn't worth the price. The lack of online multiplayer speaks for itself. However, it is very aesthetically pleasing game, and is well put together. But the overall lack of content makes it something I would not recommend.

Surprisingly fun for the simplicity of it. Can kill a few hours, one good night of gaming. Definitely worth 5$ if you got a few friends. Good for casual play with non-gamers and intense people too.

Now, i first saw this game on Orlygift, which gives out codes in raffles for steam games, and it actually looked really fun, despite the simple premise and design. So I decided to pony up and buy the game for myself, after not winning it. First of all, even though it looks like an HD asteroids remake meets a pong ROM hack, the vibrant backgrounds and EDM soundtrack support it, allowing you to stay enveloped in the game. Unfortunately if you want to play every mode, you need at least one controller and a sperate human being (unless you're really good at multitasking). And even though the two multiplayer required modes are more for fun and playing around, that is what they are designed to do. The single player modes (which can be played with up to 8 players like the rest) are more focused on survival, which is well fitting. These three modes are Acrobat, compression, and Core Defence, with each mode getting a couple more mechanics than the last, and are varient enough to not get stale. Acrobat is a mode where you simply have to not get hit. This is for players who are more run than gun, as it doesn't include the gun feature like the other modes, though this is not a bad thing, as it allows the player(s) to focus on dodging the bullets, or enemies as they're called in the game. This mode also spawns "Seekers" occasionally, who will follow you until you die. They are stopped by the center aroun the core, but it's a circle, so they just slide around it, adding a better challenge to the simple mode. Compression mode is like acrobat mode, you still have to dodge enemies, but three things are different. 1. You can get powerups. 2. You have a gun mechanic. 3. The walls are closing in on you. There are no seekers, but the walls are a bigger problem. Now touching them won't kill you, but getting squished isn't impossible. The walls move in slowly, but they get closser every time you shoot the core's circle, or the walls, which ou will do a lot, so only grab the multishot power up if it's absolutely neccessary. Now Core Defence is different. Veeeery different. In core defence, you are ctually siding with the core that has tried to kill you over and over again, and what do you get to protect it? Defences which I call "cores", because it's easier. These cores vary from powerup genorating factories, to the classic shields and turrets. You will have a _lot_ of cores if you can place them close enough to the center core, and there will be many lines close up, and that's good. Now you cannot control when or how you get the power ups, you can just hope you get a good one, but over all it is one of the best modes in the game, and it gets even better from the fact it's the most... "in depth" single player available mode. Overall this game is just fun, fun, fun, and fun, although I reccomend it to people who have a lot of gamer friends, so you can enjoy it how it's supposed to be played, with friends. Get this game.

This game is surprisingly fun, although I didn't get to test the multiplayer, but played against artificial intelligence. It's definitely something in between. But global multiplayer would have been nice.

Unfortunately, the game doesn't have enough polish to be fun imo. Graphics and UX are a hard to understand, only four xbox controllers work at the same time (most likely because the game falls back to XInput instead of DINput for those) and I don't like the sound design at all. It's the little things like apprupt victory screens that don't have a direct rematch option, basic samey looking game elements and the sounds of all actions that just don't quite fit together. I can't recommend it for your next couch coop session

I found this game when looking for a game to play with my kids. And thy love it works with xbox 360 controller and my own custom controller really well. Pros of game. 1) Any controller with 2 sticks works so far as I can tell. 2) My 3 year old can play the game 3) My 3 year old can play with my 8 year old. ( and my dad as well and hes 74 ^.^ ) 4) So far no bots but I did talk with the dev and he said thy adding some :) 5) The 2D art work looks really nice even the background ones are nice and clean. ( art very pretty ) 6) Game grate at a party and local gaming groups 7) Goes to 8 players. I only played up to 3 players i be needing more controllers soon. Cons 1) errrr.... its 2D that might put some people off 2) Cant play multiplayer over internet as of time of review thats it really cant tink of many bad thing to say really.
