ZPF

It's good Big problem tho is bullet and enemy visibility; most of the time it isn't a problem but I can imagine certain sections of the game being a complete guessing game if you have the "right" type of color blindness A local leaderboard would be great Game is recent and it was released physically on the Genesis so idk how possible it is or if that's something the devs even want to do but a "1.5" version could be great at some point, I'd like to see this game expanded or at least get more options But as it is, it's good, it's a Genesis game, and clearly not a game that did the bare minimum just to say "hey, it runs on the real stuff"

This game is a prime example on WHY YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST STEAM REVIEWS. i had this on my wishlist for so long, wanted it but i kept hearing bad things, so i waited until a sale and got it, expecting a mid or sub mid experience. But i got a surprise, a solid , real old school game, with old school vibes, old school mood and most of all, old school gameplay where the game is actually an oldschool shooter until the new school games pretending to be oldschool and failing. i came to a conclusion, the ''hardcore shmups'' crows are some of the most toxic and most gatekeeping community in the gaming ecosystem....i purcahsed many of those so called ''overwhelming positive'' shooters , only to find an empty , no soul, no fun game inside, games being praised as best of the genre, only for me to refund in under 2 hours. this is good, this looks good, controls good, sounds good, plays good. there are insane shortcomings, won't lie, but i can negate those facts. this is a genesis shooter, imagine u have a genesis , does it usually save ur highscore ? saves ur option ? doesn't a game reset when u turn it off ? so what is the big deal ? you want an oldschool game ? then live with the oldscho…

Developed by ZPF Team and published by Mega Cat Studios, ZPF is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up that pays homage to the golden age of 16-bit arcade action while incorporating enough modern refinements to appeal to today's players. Inspired by genre classics from the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive era, the game embraces fast gameplay, detailed pixel art, and challenging level design without feeling like a simple imitation.

meh. unpolished, color palette choice sometimes is very strange, odd and annoying. enemies are repeating too much, gameplay is just dull. maybe it's not the case,

Loving it! Challenge is just right. Love the variety of the stages and the ships play very differently. I wish options and high scores would save.
