Steam review snapshots
This is a rapid pace game which relies heavily on power-ups and upgrades to your ship, with additional weapons to be purchased…Those slow moving explosive dots that look like a coin with a trail, palette changes would be nice or a new section…I also love the retro graphics with scanlines and the overall graphics is just amazing.There's no gamepad support at the moment but Devs are working on it.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, casual filtered by single-player.
