A Void Shaper

This is a chaotic, fast paced game. And its adictive. I can see myself playing this for half an hour when I am bored to spend the time. Its a weird mix between vampire survival and shoot em ups :D. Worked flawlessly, no bugs, vibrant graphics. Solid game!

Pure old-school shooter with limited time to score as many points as possible. The gameplay is quite basic, as all you have to do is move the mouse across the screen. Your mouse is stuck on a circle that fires automatically straight forward. Movement is quick since the circle follows your mouse exactly with no delay. The goal is to survive and score as many points as possible in three minutes. This is easier said than done because you die after a single hit. Furthermore, points are not granted solely for eliminating enemies. Each time you kill one, they drop orbs that must be gathered to earn points. If you ignore them for too long, they will vanish. However, because basic shooting would be too monotonous, the game includes upgrading nodes that appear in the area or when enemies are destroyed. There are faster shoots, homing capability, higher bullet count, more time, and so on. Each run begins slowly but gradually transforms into a ballet of colored projectiles. The game is fine for a few rounds but then it loses its appeal. You can try to get on the leaderboards, but that depends on how fast you can get the most useful upgrades.

This is a great game for everyone! Thanks to the simple controls it's very easy to learn, while teaching a lot of mouse control. A clear visual design and a great soundtrack makes you feel like you're in an arcade, grinding to beat your or someone elses highscore. A single round just takes a couple of minutes, so you can hop into game anytime to conquer the void! Steam achievements are a nice feature, chasing 100% and beeing able to follow your friends game progression. Would buy again!

Two minutes in I was thinking "Oh, I'm going to return this." Ten minutes in, I'd changed my mind. It's got the feel of an old PC indie game, something you might pass around on a floppy disk maybe. It's graphics only, no sound, dead simple gameplay, and just enough charm to keep you occupied if you have nothing better to do. It's not good enough that I'll be playing it a lot, but it's good enough that I'm not going to ask for a refund. Get if you think $2-3 isn't too much to glance at something interesting for a bit.
