Get to the Mothership and smash into the main reactor!
But it wont be an easy task, to reach there you will need to fight through multiple stages that will test your wits and reflexes!
The gameplay follows a simple but challenging cycle. At the start of each round your ship will be shot through a giant Railgun, and you will have a go against the enemy forces, the thing is, the technology necessary to use the ships consumes way too much energy, and it will be slowly depleted until you are either shot down, or your energy ends, that will mark the end of the round and you will be teleported back to the base. Keep agressive and chain enemy defeats to replenish your energy and get access to higher powers! Clear levels to gain special weapons and mods, making your ship stronger or altering the gameplay, so you can last longer until you reach your missions objective.

Antes de começar a minha análise vale ressaltar que é muito importante ajudar a comunidade indie brasileira. O preço do jogo é justo e se trata de um Early Access no presente momento. A jogabilidade não tem nenhuma mecânica extraordinária ou de revolução mas segue como um ponto bom do jogo. Um dos pontos negativos é que o tiro do ataque comum não cruza a tela toda então você tem que se aproximar dos inimigos (Não é necessariamente ruim, só esquisito). Não tem algum incentivo pra você combinar os modulares, se você jogar direito passa de todas as fases sem problemas. Junto dessa falta de incentivo dos modulares vem a questão dos outros personagens que tem naves próprias: eu literalmente não vi que tinha como trocar e fiz toda a campanha com a primeira personagem mesmo. Talvez seria interessante pensar em fases com designs que colocassem uma "barreira" de jogabilidade que só dá pra passar com tranquilidade alterando as naves/mods equipados. Os poderes especiais são interessantes, testei todos mas pra fazer a campanha da pra passar sem se preocupar em trocar também (outro ponto ruim). Tem tempo de platina de uma garapa então aumentar a duração das fases seria algo muito bom de se …4 found this helpful
Good game with nice pixel art! It is really challenging, in a fun way. It resembles old arcade games with enhanced graphics. The enemies and their attacks are really diverse, lots of different ships in a single stage, I think that's what makes this type of game interesting. You can change your character (and their ships) with different parameters and customize your power-ups and special attack. You recover your HP/energy by destroying enemies, and if you fill the energy meter to double your attack is also enhanced. I think it is cool, but your energy depletes over time, so you need to be in constant action. That makes some stages REALLY difficult, there is some really bulky enemies that just swarms over you, making it overwhelming to destroy them while dodging in time. Having a way to recover through the stage would be nice, like Med-kits you can pick, maybe? The text needs more attention, there's some typos in the cutscenes, and some minor graphic bugs. Bosses are specially difficult, they nearly one-shot kill you and you need to be able to read their movements, I couldn't take down any of them in the first try (and second and third)... Can be frustrating to some, but it's w…2 found this helpful

Easy game. No goth baddie though.
A short 'n' sweet time for fans of old school shooters.
