About Captain Jackson

Give them hell



Your name is Jackson. Captain Jackson. You are caught in the middle of war between humans and Rivanirs - an alien species from another star system. As an Elite Pilot you must face the wrath of the Rivanirs' Fleet. Your commanding officer explains the battle plans but you don't care. You just want to face the hordes of those monsters on your own. You leave the flag ship in your trusted green star fighter and head straight for the aliens' fleet. They will give you everything they've got but you know your life led to this very moment. You are well prepared. You... are Captain Jackson.

What's it all about?



After that cool story depiction let's talk about what "Captain Jackson" really is. It's a 2D retro, pixel-art, shooter where your goal is to get the highest score you can achieve. On your way of extermination you can find and use several power ups, that will buff certain aspects of your ship. Additionaly after battles you will receive a currency which can be used to buy variety of skins for your starship. Moreover there is a suprise waiting for you after you complete the game. Now go and never forget that you are the Captain Jackson!

This is another bit of weird junkware assimilated by DIG Games and published as a "minimum viable product" on Steam. It's possible one of the worst shoot 'em up/bullet hell games ever made, with graphics that look bad for pixelcrap. I personally think it's truly remarkable when people take something that's bad and somehow manage to make it even worse. The godawful visuals are fully representative of the rest of the game, sloppy controls, painfully slow bullet cycle times, floatiness... it's unpleasant to play. I think it might have been a joke game or something... the tutorial for the controls just says "Work it out yourself", which is pretty rude. It makes you wonder if they genuinely thought this was a game for gamers, or if it's an exercise in publishing garbage onto Steam Direct just to pollute the store. Some developers do this for a living, and it's bad for everyone. DIG Games have a known history of trying to scam people into paying them money for someone else's work, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. One example of DIG Games doing this is [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1022040]Candy Mandy[/url], which is really the "[url=https://a…
