Arcade Forever

No controller support... in a game like this?! ..Come on bruh!! No Steam high scores... in a game like this?! ..Come on bruh!! Cool looking explosions is about all I can say positive for this game. There isn't even on option to turn off auto-fire FFS. Why not just make the game play for you with AI? This game is just asking too much money for it lacking no-brainer features like Steam high scores and controller support. Make some patches to add what's overly obviously missing from this game, and I "might" buy this again when it drops to a 50% off on a sale or something. As it is right now at launch... NOT RECOMMENDED. - This just feels lazy and rushed with pretty graphics and nearly zero substance. I've played much more fun and deeper retro style games for $3 full price and there's literally hundreds of better options at this price for this kinda game.

The presentation of the game is extremely minimalistic, offering no sense of story, context, or motivation for the player’s actions. Your only goal is to complete 25 missions, all of which take place on the exact same screen. The only variation between missions is the initial placement of mines, while the enemy waves follow nearly identical patterns each time. Gameplay is just as simple as the presentation. The only thing you are required to do is move the spaceship around the screen, shoot down enemies, and dodge incoming fire. Shooting happens automatically, so you never need to press a button to attack. There are no additional mechanics, secondary weapons, or interactive systems to deepen the experience. Although the game does include a “special attack,” even that activates on its own once a painfully slow energy bar fills up. In essence, the game can be played with one hand, as there’s nothing to manage except basic movement. Gamepad is not supported. Each level unfolds in a nearly identical way: your ship remains at the bottom of the screen while enemies descend from above. The quicker you destroy them, the fewer projectiles you’ll have to dodge. Enemy variety is minimal,…
