Bite sized shmup; rocket sized fun!~ Well this was certainly an odd discovery; but I'll never say no to an STG which allows me to blow up random body parts "because reasons." In that sense this game reminds me a little bit of Tyrian 2000, but with plenty of retina-melting psychedelic colors instead. And oh my that bass... this is one game where you'll definitely want to dial your speakers (and subwoofer, if you have one) up to 11. All that said however, there is a lot of soul in this tiny little package. Z-Warp isn't a long game even by STG standards (15 minutes for a TLB clear), but it packs one heck of a punch. Levels are also relatively simple, but yet, Z-Warp manages to be an immensely engaging game despite its relative simplicity (you only get one ship, and you can't even customize your shot type). And this is what surprises me about Z-Warp so much: this is probably the simplest STG I've ever played, and yet I've had so much fun with it. Even the scoring system isn't rock...

About This Game
Blast off into the darkest corners of space to retrieve the black box of a lost experimental spacecraft!
In the Year 21XX, a starship capable of space-time warping was constructed and launched, only to be lost to the unknown depths of space on its maiden voyage. When a distress signal is received, it falls to you, the most accomplished pilot in Z-Division, to find the experimental ship and retrieve its black box for investigation. This mission will take you into a hellish realm where you’ll have to survive waves of fiendish foes if you hope to return alive and victorious!

Face massive boss abominations and aim for high scores in Story or Endless modes.
