I played it while a game was downloading and it was lots of fun (and I wanted the game to take longer to download because I wanted to play more). It's nothing crazy, but if your bored and want to play something fun and easy try this.

It's a fun little game, the dev is really honest with his work. If you've got a buck lying around in your steam account from trading cards it's a fun game to play. I hope the dev works more, but it's nice in it's current state. Still worth a buy, it's only the price of some candy at a store's checkout anyways. :)

It was the perfect game to play while Killing Floor 2 was downloading. So mission accomplished in the game's title!
Cute, simple, fairly addictive, and only a buck. The epitome of an F it why not? It's a buck. Go for it.

I have only played this for a few minutes and I can tell this is a really good first game. Very addicitive and fun. I like how honest the developer is (The fact that when you close the game you see a picture of the dev thanking you for playing, which is really sweet)
Also this game costs the same as a chocolate bar. You can't really go wrong with that.

TL:DR This is a great super simple classic arcade style game, But it gets old pretty fast.
This game has a great visual style and really captures the feel of old school arcade games. And that's both it's best and worst feature. Because were talking Missile Commander, Lunar Lander, Space Invaders levels of retro simplicity.
You turn a ship left or right as it moves and fires at preset intervals at alien ships to get a high score. Thais it. That all that this is. But that's not bad. I spent more then my share of quarters at my local pizza place on games like this and they are a fun way to kill some time.
But killing a few minutes at a time is all this game is really good for. I think it would have fair better as a phone game then a PC release. Its almost to casual to take the time and start up. Unless you are, like it title suggests playing while waiting for a download to finish.
All in all its only a $1.00 and definitely worth playing while waiting for that next big patch to your favorite game to download.
