BACKFIRE

Great game that commits to a central idea and does it really, really well. Super punchy, responsive and dripping with charm. It was great on mobile but even better on PC - though some of that is I can actually beat the wormy on PC, maybe. For the dopamine-starved computer boys of 2025 it is also prime gaming to have a podcast or video essay or whatever playing on the second monitor. Little green fella should consider investing in a front facing gun, maybe

This game hits. If you like fast paced action with tight arcade-style controls definitely give this one a shot. There is permanent upgrade system helps lock in that feeling of wanting to do "one more run" over and over again because your upgrades keep stacking as you do better and better. It also scratches that Vampire Survivor gameplay itch, but you feel less at the mercy of the RNG gods and more like a badass when you finally prevail. Highly recommend. Plays great on Steam Deck too.

So far, I love this game! It has a fresh take on the Asteroids genre and makes it pretty spooky. Most importantly, the game has a lot of variety in terms of weapons and their mechanics. You can equip up to 4 per run after you unlock them, and then you can work on upgrading them afterwards. I only beat the first chapter but I can tell that I am really going to enjoy playing this one until the end. I would like to mention that although the game has controller support, using a mouse is way more intuitive and helps with movement. I almost always prefer to use a gamepad, but I think this one works better with the mouse... no keyboard needed.

This game is awesome! It has a great selection of weapons that feel really different to use, and the bosses and enemies are all unique and surprising. Together with the awesome artstyle and satisfying gameplay, it's a very replayable and super fun arcade game and I highly recommend giving it try!

Chapter 2 made me want to quit gaming and set fire to my computer. I hate it. 10/10 great game
