[h1] Very entertaining Galaxian clone updated with nice graphics, sounds, and more interesting attack patterns. [/h1] [h1]🤔Overall Impressions🤔[/h1] [quote][h2][b]A Blast From The Past is an enjoyable Galaxian clone which has been updated in every sense. It looks nice, sounds great and has many new enemies with different attack patterns. There are bonus rounds between sections and three difficulty levels which get harder as you progress. Compete against your own high scores, or try working your way up the online leaderboards on the harder difficulty settings. If you enjoy casual arcade shooters then this is definitely worth checking out.

Fun game, but I feel like there should be an option to have more than 2 shots or to speed up the travel of the two shots. My mind wants to approach this like Galaga, which has fast bullets, and I can mash the fire button. Enable that mode, and this game would be perfect.

Yeah, it's Galaxians alright, just not as we know it. Improved and stylish graphics, inventive attack patterns - really enjoyed my only game so far. APPARENT BUG ALERT + Every boot in subsequently results in the 'connecting' screen, endlessly, never letting me in. Also it won't allow Steam to stop it. Restarts required, etc. Unplayable. I can't be arsed to chase this up on Discord. Yo! Mighty Dev - please patch this 'un - your game is xlnt and I wanna play. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Hope you notice this , Mr. Dev. The game boots up fine, thanks for that. However, It still won't stop, and hangs around in background processes. Restart needed .Couldn't find you on Discord, may try to find the steam forums.

Great game. If you liked the one from the past you'll love this one. Would like to see a little more variety in the levels but overall excellent! And now after playing for a while, I really, really enjoy it! Maybe even a little more than the oldies!!

It's fun - can't go wrong with a Galaga-ish game.
