4$ for 8 mbs of a game, thats 1$ per 2 mbs. MOST IVE EVER PAID!!!!! use your shield to bounce back things fired at you, thats the entire game 2/10 into the hidden game abyss with you

Brain Storm: Tower Bombarde is a retro pixel/neon 2D top down "shooter"/pong ripoff with a gimmick, you don't have a weapon of your own. You create a shield which forces enemy attacks to bounce off you. Destroy enemy towers by bouncing their bullets back at them and negotiate simplistic single-screen arenas. While the premise is maybe interesting for 3 minutes, the implementation here is terrible. Godawful graphics that don't look arcadey or retro pixel, they just look lazy and bad. The developers couldn't work out how to make full screen work, so you're stuck with a postage stamp sized window, and fixed controls and fixed resolution. Do they think we're console peasants or something? The quality of this game is far too low for me to recommend.

Brain Storm : Tower Bombarde is a really unusual little exploration game that I found interesting because it mixes maze exploration, puzzles and defensive combat into one strange package. I am dropped into a huge labyrinth and have to explore its rooms while dealing with enemies, finding secrets and gradually improving my abilities. I liked how much of the experience is based on figuring things out for myself instead of following a straightforward path. The exploration is the main attraction for me. I move through maze like areas, search for new paths and use the map to keep track of where I have been. I enjoyed that sense of discovery because the game constantly makes me wonder what might be waiting around the next corner.

I have a shield and several skills that can be switched during exploration, and learning when to defend myself becomes important.

I really like this game. It's a top-down metroidvania, where you battle enemies by bouncing back their bullets with your shield back to them. You can kill bosses and get upgrades that strengthen your shield, your movement, or your tools for exploration. The game is pretty fun, and despite it's tiny size, can easily take 10+ hours to beat. The music is good. The one thing I didn't like is that there's no way to rebind keys, and to resize the game.
