Space Hit

Space Hit is a surprisingly fresh take on the shoot 'em up and an easy pick up for any fan of the genre. Pros: -novel shoot 'em up mechanic has you warping from planet to planet while fighting off baddies -warping and shooting creates a very satisfying gameplay hook -decent progression -amateurish programmer art makes the game affordable and, perhaps, charming Cons: -at first blush, some of the visual assets come off as a bit amateur (less so if you're inclined to game jam or flash games) -not super long -some generic and repetitive enemy design

If you miss and fly off the edge of the screen, you die. So you smash into a planet, turn, shoot, then look for another planet to jump on, because all the planets are moving down and if you're on a planet when it goes off the egde of the screen, you die. Clearly the edge of something did something bad to the developer when they were a child, because there's no other way to describe this apparent hatred of edges. Needless to say this is a shallow and pointless shovelware game with no serious merit or value for PC gamers. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the…
