    Not recommended Jan 18, 2018
    I say this as both a gamer and a dev. There is never, ever, ever a reason to not have keybindings in a game. It is poor form. It is laziness. It is the down side to the democratization of software developement. That alone makes it not worth buying. Secondly, there are performance issues where there need not be, due to unity texture size setting.

    Only a couple of hours in and I can say this is a great game, exciting gameplay that doesnt get boring, the best in the genre and well worth the low price tag, different modes and new enemies means it keeps changing and stays fresh, a modern take on bullet hell with a unique art style that is great fun over and over. 10/10

    Really fun and challenging game and runs really smoothly. The spaceship options are incredibly thought out as each ability serves a different purpose, for each level I find myself mix and matching to work out what works best per level. The game is quite difficult but its fair - it controls precisily and the graphics work really well with the gameplay as the bullets really stand out and the screen is always crystal clear. The game is split up into small playable levels so when you fail you can easily get back into it and change your setup to try again. With all the options is very re-playable, and its definitely a fun and challenging games to play with friend or alone. Would highly recommend and well worth the price.
