A low rent Super Stardust HD knock off. If you're going to copy a game might as well copy a great one, but this is missing too many quality of life features to make it worth playing again. Such as, your ship doesn't make any noise, and neither does picking up gems. Often times you're waiting 30 seconds or more for more asteroids or other enemies to come down. You can map and use a controller in-game, but still have to use the mouse to buy items between levels or use the menu. And then my game froze and crashed after finishing level 2. Badly needs polish. 4/10

Save the planet! Save the orbit! Fantastic and amazing spaceship simulator.
New shoot 'em up!
There are three lives in reserve, weapons like laser or plasma, three atomic bombs and acceleration for emergency cases. Collect points and get extra life.
There are multiple worlds to unlock, option to switch between a laser and plasma gun, using bombs and escape with high speed power up when needed. The gameplay feels right. It's natural and quite satisfying. Definitely a good choice for short sessions. Easy to pick up and play.
Xbox, PS Dualshock and other controllers are supported!

Let's make a twin stick shooter without two sticks lol. If you're playing on controller this game really fn sucks, you have to click push in the right to shoot and can't remap the controls to say something like right trigger? It's fine on mouse and keyboard. Good job making sure all those 10 year olds get carpal tunnel by the time they're 20. Fix the controller support dev. *and I swear if you reply to this with "Thanks!" I'm refunding this game.
A copy of Super Star Dust HD on the Playstation, hasn't got all the features of the original definitely doesnt feel as polished or finished either. It lacks a survival mode, the weapon progression is very quick and lacks variety and the few planets in the main game mode are very similar and the boss fights relatively generic. For a basic arcade shooter the graphics are also very basic and not overwhelmingly good to look at. Needs work.
Pros: Cheap. Fun take on a stick shooter. Smooth controls and vibrant colors. Cons: Doesn't seem to track high scores. Wasn't able to get the FIRE button to map to my controller (could be programming, could be my ineptitude) I would definitely recommend you pick this up for a good chill out game that can still keep you on the edge of your seat. If there is a score tracker (or one gets added) this could get pretty competitive in my house.
I was really surprised at this game for the price!You can use a joystick and can configure laser and bomb controls.Has good graphics and to me it is definite worth a couple of bucks.
a nice looking game for low price
A fast-paced bullet hell above a shielded planet. Gets very complicated really fast. Try if you like challenge.
