MissileDancer

Dev refuses to port over the superior Switch port AND randomly decided to over triple the original price whilst offering nothing in return. Not at all worth buying.

[b]Introduction[/b] MissileDancer is a minimalistic retro style vertical shmup. I bought it after having played RagingBlasters, a new game by Terarin. Since I enjoyed that game a lot I looked for his previous games. The recently released Switch version of Missile Dancer has improved visuals but I don't mind the simpler Steam version, it actually looks more clear to me and it's ridiculously cheap. [b]Gameplay[/b] Like most vertical shmups the playfield is narrow. You fly a jet with lock on missiles and autofire to destroy incoming enemy missiles. There's a radar you can check for approaching enemies. You keep your lock-on button pressed and then your available missiles wil lock on one by one. Once they're all locked on they'll launch automatically but you can also launch any locked on missiles by either letting go of the lock-on button or by pressing the missile button with the latter being more convenient. You can pick up Range and Missile items, Range items will increase the lock-on range while Missile items increase the number of missiles you can deploy. Destroying the bigger enemies will award you with a bunch of crystals you can collect, they are worth bonus points after you…

Nice short retro shmup.
