Bland, cheap and poorly-balanced SHMUP. I regret wasting my time.

Bought it to help support a Ukrainian developer. It's a good, basic side scrolling shooter (which I'm not necessarily good at). Appreciated some of the upgrade mechanics that at least made me feel like I was making progress.

Simple and fun side-scrolling space shooter with homages/inspiration from the likes of Galaga and Space Invaders. Great bonus levels and a somewhat rogue-lite mini progression system to upgrade your ship each time you die. I felt like the challenge scaled pretty well into the later levels even with being able to upgrade my ship. Not quite a bullet hell but there are definitely some bosses and sequences where it might feel like it.

This is a fantastic retro arcade type shootem up. Its an adrenaline rush. Lots of enemies lots of obsticles and lots of lazer, bullets and rockets. Great Music, great sound effects and really good colorful graphics. The Gamepad/Controller is sooo smooth .. The Replay value is awesome. This is one of my favorite Shootem Ups of the year. This developer sure knows how to make a great arcade game. WOW!!!!!!! SO GOOD!

Absolutely great. Genuinely enjoy the game. I naturally stick to either games I enjoy or games my friends play so it's not natural for me to spend money on games I haven't demo'd. Thought that's true I had a few bucks and decided to try this and it's actually so fun! I don't know why it's this fun but great game.

When I first started playing this I thought it was fairly bland and uninteresting, but it grew on me. Here are all the things I really like: [list] [*] The level select screen makes it very handy to come back to where you are, and to replay completed levels. [*] The upgrade system allows you to increase your power in significant ways so you can defeat harder levels. [*] There is a variety of foes and bosses that are interesting. [*] There are bonus levels that are really creative and fun. [*] The music is very good. [*] The achievements are well designed and it is challenging but not too hard to 100% the game. [/list] Here are all the things I wish were better/different: [list] [*] There are some temporary weapon "upgrades" that are worse than your main weapon, so I found myself dodging them sometimes. Maybe this was intentional, but I didn't like it. [*] Related to the above your default weapon can shoot enemy missiles, but some temp upgrade weapon's can't making them undesirable. I just found that to be an odd design choice, possibly even a bug. [*] Level 10 seems to be a steep difficulty bump. I was stuck on this level for a long while and almost gave up. [*] The upgrade system is not very intuitive. Better explanations of what each upgrade actually does would help. This was part of my issue with level 10, I was upgrading things that didn't matter much. [*] There are some bad guys that will attack from behind. This seems unfair and requires you to memorize the level. That is not always a bad thing, but I didn't like it. I prefer to have my eye/hand coordination and upgrade level of the ship to be the main factors in success or failure. [/list] Overall, I say this game is a winner and punches well above it's price point. It's well worth your $$ and time if you like side scroller shmups.
