Un shoot 'em up arcadoso con diversidad de estilos de juego y un gran planteamiento de modernización para una fórmula retro. Un indie que, entiendo, causó furor hace una década. Sin embargo, hoy en día, con la consolidación de estas prácticas de revalorización, no resulta tan significativo.

another arcadey banger from vlambeer thats an absolute joy 2 play, the game and visuals fit perfectly, screenshake is thumpy and satisfying as FUCK (on brand w/ other vlambeer titles)
gameplays addictive, like really addictive since runs dont take too much time and its very fast 2 jump into action
the soundtracks fkn amazing, it fits the game very well and when ure on fire certain parts of the songs will be emphasized creating awesome moments

Gameplay always feels fresh because of the 125 combinations you can have for ur plane, 5 weapons 5 bodies and 5 engines, all of which do not feel too overpowered or redundant, it all feels very balanced (although youll be using nukebody to complete most missions as the screen clear can help out immensely)

my con with the game is the progression system and how tedious getting 100% is, its prolly the worst progression ive seen in recent times, missions will go from super easy to almost impossibly hard to complete as some youll have 2 complete in hard mode. Theres also a bug where the last thing you killed wont count towards your score which had let me to fail the 25k in SMFT mission several times also dont even get me started about the laserace
Finally unlocking the last combination was very satisfying tho

would highly recommend it to people that are into arcade game but would highly not recommend it to people that are into arcade games that also have OCD

i have unlocked everything there is to unlock in this game and i still have no idea how the movement works at all. good as hell though i'm not a plane shooter person, that speaks to this game's efficacy though.

only good spacewars clone

Really cool arcade style pilot fighter game.
