About VARYZNEX
Approach them to draw them in automatically, but releasing the attack button will also attract distant items.
(The faster you collect them, the more points and energy you gain.)Once your energy gauge is full, Hyper mode becomes available.
While Hyper is active, your ship’s shot changes to a powerful laser and enemy point values are doubled.
BITs can also block pink enemy attacks during Hyper.Continuing to collect energy even further unlocks Double Hyper.
in Double Hyper, homing shots are added to your arsenal and points are quadrupled.
(Colliding your Hyper laser with a boss or large enemy’s laser creates a massive amount of energy items and deals heavy damage with powerful energy balls.)Medium and larger enemies offer a time bonus — the faster you defeat them, the higher the point multiplier.
Combining this with Hyper multipliers allows for a maximum of 32x points.In boss battles, bosses release energy items every time they lose 1/4 of their health.
The fewer seconds that have passed, the more items appear.
Defeating them quickly also grants additional “Destruction Bonus Energy.”Clear a stage with no deaths to earn a NO MISS BONUS.
The bonus doubles with each consecutive no-miss stage, and the final stage bonus is doubled again.3 Game Modes × 2 Difficulties (NORMAL / HARD)NORMAL / HARDThe Hyper gauge also functions as shield energy.At full gauge: NORMAL allows up to 6 hits, HARD allows up to 3 hits.
In HARD mode, enemy attacks become more intense, but the number of energy items that appear is doubled (though each item provides half the energy).X-mode (X-NORMAL / X-HARD)You can hold up to 2 shields (1 on HARD).
Even if you lose them upon taking damage, you can redeploy them by accumulating gauge after activating Hyper.
Hitting enemies with shots outside of Hyper increases the gauge.
Activating Hyper while holding a shield grants bonus points.VX-mode (VX-NORMAL / VX-HARD)Energy gain is 1.5× higher than other modes.
You have 1 automatically regenerating shield that works even during Hyper.
When respawning, the energy gauge retains the amount it had before the player ship was destroyed.
Gauge increase from shooting enemies outside of Hyper is higher than in X-mode.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Cool shump that's got some Metal Black/G Darius style energy where you got a big beam. I think the standard mode is a little odd since using the big beam means you're giving up six (!!) hits of shield and bosses in particular don't feel like they give you enough meter, but VX mode feels a lot better balanced to me. So be sure to try all the modes.2 found this helpful
Short and sweet. Challenging enough that the 1CC doesn't feel free, but it also doesn't feel impossible. Great music.2 found this helpful
Fun shmup. Stage 4 music rips! You control your options/bits to change the direction you're shooting in. I find one of the alternate modes to control them easier, but I forget which. So if you're struggling my recommendation is to experiment with the different modes. With how many of these I've played it's difficult to say, but I would say that this game's VX-Normal mode would be a pretty sensible 1cc for a newcomer willing grind out a few attempts. For me as a vet it was comparatively easy, I did it on the third try. It was almost my second, so if for more seasoned players like myself Hard is probably the real challenge. Those wings are forever.1 found this helpful
Excellent fast-paced SHMUP for fans of THUNDERFORCE III - IV. Beautiful pixel graphics. Simple but action packed.1 found this helpful
Wow, presently surprised. Has good bullet pattern level design, good pacing you won’t get destroyed . Nice boss battle. Pixel porn. Good sense of speed. 4 out of 10 difficulty a good starter shmup for beginners.1 found this helpful
If you suck like me, you will appreciate the infinite continues. This shump is challenging. Great music and pacing. Three hit lives and a mega beam which can counter boss mega beams. It's hectic and it's fun. You have escort ships which can shoot in three different fixed directions. If this developer had a 3D graphics designer and local cooperative mode I would buy his/her games from here on to forever. Good music, level design, and theming are all here. Support this one if you believe in a future for shumps.1 found this helpful
