S.T.R.E.T.C.H.

Is S. T. R. E. T. C. H. really so addictive as it's promoted? Well, we're expecting a "simple and hardcore top down flight shooter". Let's see what they did here. First of all, there are only a few achievements - five of them to be more precise, and they are related to in-game points. 200 points nets you the rarest achievement. How much does it take? Five minutes of play. Probably less. If you are looking for easy achievements, this game can be literally completed within five minutes. The game itself runs windowed on Unity, and it features no sound/soundtrack/music/effects AT ALL. No tutorial of any kind is given - there are no levels or anything else. You are just put into the middle of the action. And yeah, the game is a retro top down shooter - you command some kind of airship (a jpeg image taken from Google probably) with enemy planes and spaceships coming and firing at you. You have an autofire and.. there's nothing else. Upgrades? No (almost). Boost, bombs, anything else? Nothing. WASD to move and nothing else, it shoots the basic fire automatically. Sometimes it will double by getting some items. The hitboxes are total crap, meaning that you'll be likely killed even if you'r…

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] S.T.R.E.T.C.H. is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a Unity asset/template for a 2D vertical scrolling shmup and a spaceship asset pack or two, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. It's important to also note the "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. ARGames/Metal Fox have a known history of trying to scam people into paying them money for someone else's work, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. An example of ARGames/Metal Fox doing this is [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/798560]Inaccessible world[/url], which is really "[url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/ultimate-survival-80368]Ultimate Survival[/url]", written by the actual developers, Winterbyte.

Easy 100% achievements, but a bad implementation of this type of game.

S.T.R.E.T.C.H. is a fast-paced arcade shooter developed by ARGames and published by Metal Fox that embraces the philosophy of old-school action games where survival depends almost entirely on player skill. Instead of relying on elaborate storytelling or cinematic presentation, it delivers a focused experience centered on quick reflexes, precise movement, and the ability to adapt under constant pressure. The game strips away unnecessary distractions and concentrates on providing a pure arcade challenge, making it an appealing choice for players who appreciate straightforward gameplay with a high skill ceiling. The gameplay revolves around guiding a spacecraft through increasingly dangerous combat scenarios filled with enemy ships, incoming projectiles, and tight spaces that demand careful navigation. Every encounter rewards patience and practice, as recognizing attack patterns and maintaining control during hectic firefights become essential to long-term success. The responsive controls contribute greatly to the experience, ensuring that failures rarely feel unfair. Instead, each defeat serves as a lesson, encouraging players to refine their strategies and improve their reaction ti…

[h2]That... That's it?[/h2] [i]S.T.R.E.T.C.H.[/i] is a simple shoot 'em up that offers you virtually nothing. Like actually, what are you doing here? [h2] Problems Galore [/h2] [list] [*] No music, or any SFX at all, just dead silence as you play. [*} No options, only a play and a quit button... I know which one will be more useful. [*] Only one powerup, which becomes useless after acquiring it more than three times. [*] Same five-ish enemies, with almost no variety, except where they move, they all fire the same projectiles. [/list] I have nothing else to say except, don't buy this game, unless you want virtually free achievements. If you buy this for any other reason, I will be slightly concerned.
