This is a really nice mash-up of Lunar Lander and Thrust. The gameplay gives you 3 lives, as usual, to complete as many levels as you can in one go. Each time you start you have to start at the Level 1, but as you progress their is an option to practice on the current highest level you've achieved. Some nice, but simple locked door puzzles and some difficult projectiles and enemies. Definitely worth the price.
This game is truely another great game from a studio that excel at making great games. I love the film noir shift from colour to black and white. Some great set pieces and Action moments. Even the cars are done just right. Love this game, so far.
I love shmups (shoot 'em ups to the uninitiated.) I love Eugene Jarvis (Defender is my favourite game of all time.) I love what HouseMarque have been doing in the shmup arena (no pun intended) over the last decade. When I heard that HouseMarque were working with the industry legend Eugene Jarvis to create a spiritual sequel to Robotron 2084 (Jarvis' seminal and, most would say, best work) I was excited. Now it's finally out and I've got to grips with the, easy to pick-up, but challenging to master, controls. I have fallen in love with this ultra-fast paced arena shmup. HouseMarque have taken everything good from Eugene's previous works and mixed it up with other popular tropes in the shmup genre. Added a heap of their familiar voxel based loveliness and polished it to the nth degree. This is videogaming in it's purest form. It never treats you unfairly, every death is justified by your own ineptitude to tame the beast. Challenge builds up at a very fair pace and gives even newbies and those whose fingers just don't operate fast enough to feel satified. If you love shmups you owe it to yourself to own this game. If you've never played a shmup get this game you'll understand what the rest of us have known for decades. If you hate shmups then know that you are wrong, buy this game now and prepare to be converted. Sorry to get technical, but it's worth knowing - Take the minimum spec offered on the store page this game (with settings turned down) will run a very comfortable 60fps on a moderate gaming PC. Incase I forgot to mention it... B U Y T H I S G A M E ! ! !
