Ayako's Mission

Ayako's Mission is a "template" flip. The "developer" filled out a basic 2D top down shoot'em up game template in the craptastic GameMaker Studio (a blight on gaming), changed the name/reskinned a couple of things, and put it on Steam as if it was their own game. The developer here is famous for having dumped a whopping 52 games copied from 3 different GameMaker Studio templates. That's a lot of copy + pasting with some minor reskins and level rearrangement... but none of these are serious, sincere games. 52 games, 3 templates. There's nothing genuine about these copy + paste games. To prove my point, here's two other flips from the same game asset from the same developer: [list] [*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1144260/Warships_On_The_Halloween_Night]Warships on the Halloween Night[/url] [*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1303000/Proxy_Air_Force]Proxy Air Force[/url] [/list] Take a look for yourself... it's the same game! From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. …

Small shoot'em up very badly designed. Dodging is nearly impossible so there is a big life bar ! Not even playable with my Xbox One controller.

The levels become boring and repetitive levels after playing them once and the bossfights don't even feel cool since you deal no damage to them and before the level ends the game gives you a 1 shot beam so you don't lose. The game is not bad and I wouldn't give it a negative review since I mostly cheesed the game it's just that after some levels they discontinued it and put the same stuff with just a different map so you don't say that you play the same level. ( TIP = you can make your spaceship invisible by putting it on the sides of the screen but make sure to touch the end of the level cause it won't trigger )

Fun little game. Took ~50 minutes to complete. Only a couple of stages gave me some real trouble, but I was able to push through after a few tries. There's not a lot to it, and I'm honestly not a big fan of shoot-em-ups (vertical or horizontal), but I still enjoyed my time with it.

It's a short, simple, bit unpolished - yet fun, little game. Reminds me my own projects from TGF and MMF era - very nostalgic. Definitely worth a shot for a price given.

A fun little top-down shooter with some difficulty towards mid levels.
