The games full-thruster arcade style is both its biggest strength and weakness. On one hand, you got good graphics with plenty of potential for good music. But on the other hand, you got horrible controls with 2-4 of the classes being absolutely useless. I think some stuff may need to be sent back to 1995, to be honest
+The main menu reminds me of arcade menus. That’s not going to stop me from calling it lazy, though
+Honestly clicking the screen to progress the text feels like flipping a page in a book and i like it
+Different classes? NOW you have my attention!
+I can forgive the obviously patterned background due to how detailed the sprites are!
+Enemies scale up with you making it so you can NEVER let your guard down
+The highscore meter is a nice touch
+The enemies certainly give you a run for your moon dollars
-main menu lazy
-“Click space to continue” instructions unclear, drifting through space with mouse
-Ok enough joke criticisms, “It was more than epic, it was legendary” is just lazy writing.
-“Speed” and “Agility” are 2 different classes? You realize those are synonyms right?
-Every-time you die, you get booted back to the menu. I don’t know if this was an attempt to replicate arcade machines or just incompetence but i don’t like it.
-The reason this drifty control style was tolerable back then was due to their being infinite space to move around. This play area is claustrophobic as hell
-Enemies can spawn on top of you, leading to deaths you couldn’t even see coming!
-The agility class is the best one, no competition. Followed by speed, attack and then defense (Defense is absolutely horrible, by the way)
Scores (Scale of 1/5)
Visuals - 3.5 (Great sprites)
Sound - 1 (I don’t care if you don’t know how to use the sound module, still lazy)
Controls - 2.5 (Should’ve stayed in the arcades)
Difficulty - 4 (The floaty controls make it worse than it has to be)
Stability - 4.5 (Hitting walls is VERY punishing)
Final Score: 3.5/5
Could be a great game with nostalgia everywhere, but winds up having the bad parts of arcade games overshadow the good parts.
