Pixel Space Battles

Maybe worth picking up for easy Achievements, outside that. Pass on it.

[h3]A good example that even the most simple game, can be done worse.[/h3] I have no idea where did I get it from, but found it today in my library, installed [b]just to finish the whole game in less than two minutes[/b] and had to wait another three just to leave a negative review. Space Invaders was more complex than this thing. [b]Not worth even for free.[/b]

Pixel Space Battles, developed by Nikita "Ghost_RUS" and published by Ghost_RUS Games, is a minimalist arcade shooter that attempts to recreate the feel of classic space shoot-’em-ups through a deliberately stripped-down design. It places players in control of a small spacecraft tasked with surviving waves of enemies while pushing forward toward a distant goal, but it does so with an almost barebones approach that defines both its accessibility and its limitations. The gameplay loop is built around very simple mechanics. Players move their ship horizontally across the screen while firing at incoming enemies, avoiding projectiles, and trying to survive as long as possible. There are no complex control schemes or layered systems to learn, making it easy to jump into the action immediately.

What I like: It gives 15 achievements for very little effort and time cost. What I dislike: it is obvious shovel-ware. It is clearly a poorly implemented Space Invaders clone that is far easier than the original. There is virtually no replay-ability with the game. Survival mode is a joke. It took me less than 3 minutes to beat the game and get every achievement. I then had to run the game until I could review it. I only recommend buying this game if a few achievements given with very little effort is worth $0.99 to you.

If Space Invaders was terrible. I've come to expect this sort of quality for games from this company. If you want an actual good game, do not consider buying any of this company's products.

Pretty bad Space Invaders-clone. Easy Achievements, 100% / 3min.
