About Gratuitous Space Shooty Game
This game is just a simple space shooty game where you use the left and right arrow keys to control your ship, and the spacebar to fire. Ever-more deadly waves of alien ships attack you in a suspiciously slow and predictable pattern, enabling your single spaceship to somehow overcome incredible odds and defeat all of them, given enough skill.
Watch out for bonuses that drop from alien ships, especially those cheeky ones that fly across the top of the screen.
At the end of each battle, your level score becomes a cash bonus, but you are penalized for every alien ship that flies off screen intact. Think of this as you paying reparations to the relatives of those whose houses are blown up by those pesky aliens who got away.
After each level you get to upgrade your ship using your bonus cash. Invest in better shields, better lasers, faster thrusters to move your ship, or a better rate of fire.
For budgetary reasons, your planet only has a budget for a limited number of ships, and for reasons that are unclear, only one can be launched at a time. If you run out of ships, you fail. Sadface.
Technical stuff: Windows only, because meh. Fixed resolution of 1920x1080

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I've been a supporter of Positech Games and have several of their titles in my library (going back to Kudos back in the mid 2000's). There's a reason I own/play so many of these games. They're quality, and in the case of this title, it's quality/causal. In terms of Gameplay, I've only got about 90 minutes in so far, but expect this will be seeing more time over the next days and week. It starts extremely reminiscent of Space Invaders, at least for me it scratches that itch. The game play ramps up though and very very quickly becomes it's own experience. It comes off as a simple shooter with different power ups you can spend your XP on. The value per dollar spent on this, and every other Positech game I've played, is silly. I've spent comically little money on these games and have gotten massive entertainment out of several titles. If you look at the description and are on the fence, then buy it. If you look at the description and screen shots and it looks like something you'd hate, I respect that. But if you're not sure, take a shot. Personally, I was able to get it to work on my steam deck, but it was glitchy and my high score did not sync between Windows and Steam Dec…7 found this helpful
The game is what is says it is, and have enjoyed my 16 minutes with it so far. Definitely worth the asking price.4 found this helpful
To win, shoot stuff. BUT.... don't hit the ESCAPE key while playing, thinking it's a pause button. It closes the whole game out.3 found this helpful
Proper old school shootemup vibes :-)3 found this helpful
Simple yet fun game. Wish they would add mouse support and achievements but it is still a good game without it.2 found this helpful
