The kind of arcade game we dreamt of in the 80s
Doki Doki Gravity Drive is a 3rd-person arcade arena shmup that has you fighting off an invasion of dastardly polygons in an abstract solar system orbiting around a deadly black hole. The gameplay feels like a mix of everything from Defender to Tempest to Robotron with modern 3rd-person Shooter controls. Each round has you jump in at the edge of a random solar system. While in open space you have 6 degrees of freedom like Descent, but all the black hole will inevitably draw you to the center and your recharging pool of thrust is not bottomless, so you're safer landing on a planet, where you slide across the 3d surface with your ship and your shots curving around the edges (the game shows you shadows of enemies behind the edge. At any time you can hop off the surface of a planet and thrust to another one, just watch out for that black hole! Enemies are a diverse bunch, from enemy fighters who dogfight you, to swarm-generators, to laser wheels that cause the surface of a planet to pulse with deadly energies until they're destroyed. Enemies drop shield and weapon charges and you can power up your basic shot by several stages, but taking damage downgrades your weapon. You also have a spinning death-blossom attack with auto-charging ammo. And finally you have a limited supply of panic bombs that clear the surface of a planet. Graphics are Tron-style polygons with lots of bloom and it runs like butter. The 80s chiptune music is excellent. It's a Unity engine game. This feels like a lost 5th game by Vid Kidz. I'm very happy with it and heartily recommend it to lovers of coin-op arcade games of the 80s
