AWA 2024

This game should probably be free. Enemy bullets can be rather hard to see b/c they are white'ish or light green grey, and the bullets have a faded twinkle animation. These bullets are often overlaid on a fog effect. You can imagine how hard it is too catch all these tiny bullets on a screen. GPU was humming. Game is running uncapped so I had to cap my FPS in Nvidia Control Panel. The game is basically enemies laid on a scrolling sky background, and they pop onto the top of the screen. Many enemies have a set stop almost smack dab in the center of the screen so if ur on the side of the screen, and in Hard Mode, it can be a bit tricky to dodge bullets and get re-centered to kill said enemy; granted, a lot of enemies and bullets can be dodged by just hanging out on the side as a decent amount of enemies just shoot a barrage of bullets once and then continue their set path to scroll off screen. Cleared Normal mode 1st run. Tried Hard Mode w/newly awarded plane. New plane not good as 1st plane. Felt like a downgrade. Pixely graphics, kinda slurry and drunk. My weapon upgrade was downgraded on a couple occasions on Hard Mode. Maybe some programming error? I like being able to…

Feels like a huge downgrade from the original. Just buy that one instead. -No indication of being hit, can't tell how big or small your hotbox is either. -Boring music, awful sound effects. -They made it widescreen which now shows all the icons in the play field which kinda stinks. Original looked better, cleaner and easier to see. -Several bullet types which are mostly all difficult to see. And this game hasnt had a single update since launch.

Easy thumbs up from me. AWA is still a blast to play, with lots of achievements, and pretty cool boss battles. Also, lots of Jets to unlock. Long story short, i'm enjoying it. https://youtu.be/857KlqPBCKA?si=AQFTIGgbvR7imPn2

Nice upgrade over the original AWA with a few cool additions and improvements. I wish it had a 2-player co-op though.

The game soundtrack is iconic

fun little shoot everything that moves game only complaint is that it does not have any sound when you get hit
