Gamma Blast is a construction kit copy + paste game. The "developer" got a template for making an arcade bullet hell/shoot 'em up game, copying + pasting and arranging premade assets, using premade level design tools so they could pretend they're an actual game developer. This doesn't result in games of any real serious quality, this is just badly made amateur shovelware. It does work, though, barely... the level design is extremely poor and gameplay is unsatisfying, but that's what we should expect from copy + paste jobs like this. At least it's not pixel art? Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile a…

I play a lot of shoot em ups and I must say that I am not particularly charmed by this one. It is very difficult but in a way that seems not the player faults. Just Bullet curtains and a very unwieldy rotating aim-able weapon. I'm going to give it more time and see if something opens up. it is such an affordable title as well I'd feel silly playing it. I know this is not supposed to be Rolling Gunner or Dodonpaichi but it could use some balancing and tweaking. Nonetheless I respect the effort and want to support shoot em ups so developers such as these can further refine their process and provide better products in the future. Admirable effort and certainly a challenge for those looking for it.

unfortunately too buggy to properly play. control, collision and hitbox bugs. but a fun effort for an asset flip. and with the 39 cents I believe I paid for this not the worst. still feel it should've been a freeware release with this quality and effort.

i would say its rather a buggy mess, and needs a bit more refining. I wouldn't recommend it unless you can get it like for under 50 cents,

Great looking Shoot Em Up, but far too difficult, I know this game is Bullet Hell and also could do with an update with extra lives & continues that will be a big help, personally its impossible, i want to progress further halfway through level 1 you are dead, This game as it all, Amazing graphics, cool weapons & charge shot, great controls...Please make it possible with a new update and don't abandon your game its got great potential :)
