About Absolute Blue
Absolute Blue is a 2D shoot'em'up that was first released in 2005. Since that was quite a while ago, I decided to offer the game for free to everyone. Please keep in mind that it was created in a different time - nevertheless, I think that it can still be quite fun to face the attacking alien horde in your space fighter. I hope some of you still has some fun hours with it ;-)

[h1] Chaotic shooter with prerendered animations. Levels are not that bad but variety of enemies is small. Visuals have some charm but overall gameplay is a bit lacking. Don't press Esc or the ship will explode (seriously). For me game freezes on the menu after dying and choosing any option is impossible. Still might wanna check it out if you like shoot'em ups and ball'em ups. [/h1]5 found this helpful
Absolute Blue pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on cons: //difficult precision movement because touching any walls result in instant loss //could use more powerups and lives //anti-progression with no save feature //repetitive //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: Free To Play extra notes: //you pilot a starship while attacking enemy contacts //upbeat music with a few exploding enemies that set the scene //nostalgic 2d side-scroller shoot-em-up1 found this helpful

Игра «Absolute Blue» предлагает атмосферный хоррор с уникальным сюжетом, но сопряжена с техническими недостатками. Графика качественная, а звуковая дорожка усиливает напряжение, однако геймплей часто тормозит из-за лагов и нестабильного управления. Сюжет заставляет задуматься о темах одиночества и моральных дилеммах, но сложная система задач и ограниченная подсказка могут оттолкнуть новичков. Рекомендую только продвинутым фанатам жанра, готовым к неидеальной реализации.

Atari Jaguar graphics and sound. Which is not a bad thing really. But overall not a bad shmup. The most noticeable aspect of the game are is the use of colors. Explosions and backgrounds very much Atari Jaguar. Reminds me of the good ole' days around 1993 before PS1 came out. Worth a few bucks, not much more. I'd recommend just based off the nostalgia.
