HorgiHugh is a game that has high production values when it comes to its visuals and music, and its gameplay seems fine for a shmup. However, you don't have to play the game much to find out that it definitely needed more time in the oven, or at least a proper post launch support. The very first thing you notice after running the game, is the lack of any settings whatsoever. You cannot set your desired graphical settings such as resolution and display mode, you cannot change your keybinds, and you cannot change sound volume levels. If you have not read the manual beforehand (which is a JPG file in the game's installation directory) or the text-based manual on the Steam discussions page, you might even struggle to find the selection keys on the keyboard for a while. And can I talk about how weird the controls are on the keyboard? You use the directional keys to move, Shift to shoot, Ctrl to dodge, Space to change your partner's formation (when you get them as a powerup) and Enter to unleash your bomb ability. I can deal with Shift and Ctrl, I can deal with Space bar too. But Enter as the bomb button? Who thought this was a good layout to use in a game with no key rebinding feature?…

This game is very charming and I enjoyed it a lot for its presentation and most of its stages and bosses. However, it comes with issues that do make it an acquired taste: - Dying resets your power completely. It's often very possible to recover as the game isn't too difficult otherwise but it can be frustrating in some sections and especially when getting into the game. - The pause button is P. I thought I simply couldn't pause until somebody told me that. - There's no real practice mode. You can skip to a stage you've reached already but you'll start with minimum power. - Stage 6 is a boss rush of all the previous bosses. It's purely just padding out the game loop. - The snow stage often causes the game's framerate to go down from 60fps to 30fps. This doesn't slow down the game but it can be irritating. Luckily, the affected section doesn't require any precision. - Bosses do not time out which is why there's an infinite in the game. This greatly discouraged me from caring about scoring. -Sound effects can be played multiple times within the same frame and can end up being very loud as a result. Unfortunately, I doubt the game will get updated or patched but one thing I'd really …

I wanted to like this game. Looks fun, the graphics are neat but that's about it. There are no actual options so you have to find the manual to even figure out how to enable full screen. Then the sound is INCREDIBLY LOUD and there are no options to lower sound in game. Could've been a fun little game, but yeah I refunded it after blasting my eardrums out.

Can't recommend in the current state. I get inexplicable frame drops (drops to 30 FPS on third stage) even though my hardware should be overkill for this (RTX 2080 Ti, 3900X). It does not read POV hat as d-pad movement or support joystick remapping, so you can't use a DS4 pad out of the box. Also, it will stretch without preserving aspect ratio, meaning it is stretched out on my 21:9 screen. Besides the myriad technical problems, gameplay-wise there are several issues. The blue money cubes look too similar to enemy bullets, and when the screen scrolls up or down your ship also moves with the scrolling, which means you can crash into the scenery even though you did not move at all. I feel like this game needs a lot more polishing and play testing, but it looks like there haven't been many updates since release. I requested a refund. I think there could be a good game underneath, but not in its current state.

Steam version doesn't run on Linux.
