Bug Blast

I immediately caught on to the homage and anticipated my fate, but I didn't quite expect the game to hold up a sizable difficulty to match. After a few losses, I had begun to master the precise trigger-and-sweep movements that makes the laser the only weapon you need for the rest of the game. The Eater of Stars also took me a couple of tries, until I learned that the laser is still the most effective weapon when used in even quicker bursts to snipe the vulnerable segments from afar, while simultaneously clearing the path of incoming asteroids. The game is such a convincing clone of another famous Nerve beater that it could probably pass for a legitimate spiritual successor. The momentum and object density are as hectic as ever, but a chunky pool of health counterbalances these design elements. The weapons feel fine conceptually, but throwing bombs is so much less reliable than lasers and the pacing gets somewhat fumbled before the boss. Sinistar is probably only as famous as he is because he yells at you saying he's going to eat you, and you'd be so lucky to make it far enough to encounter him anyway. Here, I enjoyed reading in a meta-narrative about wiping out all the smaller bu…

Bug Blast is a student project from DigiPen. One of the first things students should be taught in game development is that 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid 1990's with dedicated 3D cards like the Voodoo3 and the ATI Rage. But the students were deliberately mistaught that's it's okay to release obsolete 2D games in the 3D era of gaming... certainly any professional developer seeing a prospective new hire who doesn't even know about 3D gaming probably isn't going to give them a job. Needless to say if an educational institution taught me incorrectly on purpose, I'd ask for my money back. is a very basic and pointless 2D arcade shoot 'em up no more advanced than the arcade machines of the 1990's, but what's remarkable about this is that it was made in 2020, from a class of students being fleeced by a university that apparently thinks it's ok to teach students that the art game development stopped hard in 1989 and didn't advance since. Is this some kind of joke? We also have to question what value there is for gamers on Steam when institutions flood the store with low quality 2D video game homework assignments... sure, it might make the students feel good about themselves…

Greatest game on earth!

Игра 'Bug Blast' - это неожиданно увлекательная аркада, которая затягивает с первых же уровней. Простой, но затягивающий геймплей, заключающийся в отстреле назойливых жуков, оказывается на удивление приятным. Механика "три в ряд", лежащая в основе, реализована отлично, добавляя элемент стратегии к простой стрельбе. Разнообразие жуков, каждый со своими особенностями, не дает заскучать, а необходимость продумывать каждый выстрел с учетом расположения других жуков делает геймплей глубже, чем кажется на первый взгляд. Графика яркая и мультяшная, идеально подходит для такого рода игры. Единственный минус - иногда игра становится немного однообразной, но это сглаживается появлением новых видов жуков и бонусов, добавляющих разнообразие. В целом, 'Bug Blast' – отличный способ провести время и расслабиться, убивая (в прямом смысле) время и назойливых насекомых в виртуальном мире. Рекомендую всем любителям казуальных аркад и головоломок!
