Space Mages: Dimension 33

The first wave of enemies are numerous and fire homing machine guns. You fire piddly little blobs without autofire. This game is ridiculous.

Not much fun. Fast floaty ship (but you can hold down a button to slow your movement). Frustrating enemies and frustrating upgrades. Can't recommend it.

Start the game. It drops directly into the tutorial with ear-shattering high volume. I press buttons trying to get to a menu to turn volume down and it skips the tutorial and drops in the game with still ear-shattering loudness. Finally get to a menu and the music option only mutes or plays ear-shattering loud. Mute the music and select 'exit' to get back to the tutorial. Program closes. Restart the program. It drops directly into the first stage without an option to go to the tutorial. Try to play anyway. No volume slider, I would thumbs down a free flash game for lacking that. No autofire, I would thumbs down a free flash game for lacking that. Even if I ignore the amateur coding on display, the weapons are overly basic and boring to use. Also, there is an achievement for completing the tutorial that I can't get now even if I was willing to slog through a subpar game for the achievements.

No heads up anywhere that it was made for a controller. Awful keybinding choices for keyboard that can't be changed, and no auto-fire. After playing for 10 minutes the game suffered a fatal crash that required me to kill the game, and then Steam, followed by having to kill it on task manager as well. Should have figured, any game they sell for this price is basically a scam and shouldn't allowed to be sold on steam. A bullet-hell you market on an online platform that doesn't even use the mouse. Why would you not use the most precise tool in a genre built around dodging bullets? At the very least market it as controller only if the literal 1st thing you're going code for people to see is a high recommendation to use one.

Very hard, fairly simple, but very cool too! Prepare to die a lot, they managed to make dying fun :D Another game from the Shooting Ships bundle, another positive surprise!

Really hard but challenging and fun shooter! The cat is so funny! Recommended!
