That man, with a fetish for particle effects, is playing Galaga!
A challenge and good fun. I think spotting bullets amongst the particles is supposed to be part of the challenge.

A good solid game. It's difficult for me to review this one. On one hand I can see it is a very well done game technically speaking and even in design for the most part. It feels responsive. Has many interesting enemy types and lots of FX, clear audio including speech and so forth.
The biggest issue I have with it is the crazy amount of particles flooding the screen. Every time you destroy an enemy ship it seems like hundreds of particles of debris come out that don't disappear or if they do it takes a long time for them to disappear. And that is the biggest flaw of this game in my opinion. Destroy many enemies and the screen is basically covered with particles effectively clouding the display.
I think if the particles disappeared MUCH faster or there simply were not so darn many of them this could be a very good shmup.
Some people may enjoy the particle overload and as everything seems well done and I did enjoy playing it although visibility was poor I do recommend it! I hope there is an update that lets us customize the particle lifetime or amount maybe options such as Total Insanity (current) down to BareBones (like 1/10th the current settings). lol
