Space Station Sprint

I really like the aesthetic of this game! But the gameplay mechanics, not so much. The whole premise of the game is that you have to complete every level in a very tight time limit. On the other hand, the game demands that you check carefully every every nook and cranny to find the hidden objectives and upgrades. And then to fumble with the use key to grab them. The enemies have too many healthpoints in a game where every seconds count. Running past them may seem the better option, except when you find them later all clustered in a door frame on your way back. Grenade and shockwave abilities feel like nothing, both in term of how little damage is dealt and how hardly visible they are. Then there's the saber dwarf taking away half your hp on touch, without even having to play any hitting animation, making it quite undodgeable. Turrets everywhere, and even moving laser obstacle courses. So, there's a contradiction in the gameplay. When every seconds count, you'd want super smooth movement, and super fast combat, not clunky railings blocking your jumps or enemies taking some many magazines to kill. It's sad, because if the game had more clearly chosen whether it wanted to be a fi…

Mixed. It is a good concept, and very fun in the beginning, but it is easy as hell to beat and honestly most of the secret rooms are hidden in a way that just makes it annoying and unfun, and you also haft to try and find them while you have a time limit. The enemies in this game also suck. Still, the game is atmospheric and throws you into something where you rush to look for all the communication items and destroying them. I just think it could have been executed even better. I think the game is worth getting but not at full price.

I bought this game because some websites said it was like "Alien Rage". The similarity is only that both are sci-fi and absolutely unforgiving in their difficulty. A few thoughts: 1) the mouse sensitivity is way too high. I don't know if it's because of my high dpi gaming mouse, but sensitivity needs to be set near zero to even remotely function 2) there is only one difficulty. The missions are based on a set time. If your timer goes to zero you fail and the mission hard stops. I would have preferred the opposite that you can go over your time, but when you get back to your ship you are then met with the missioned failed. This is a far more effective use of the players time in order to scout all the areas needed to complete in the time objective. 3) the first mission acts as your tutorial and the on-screen messages don't pause the clock so you better be a speed reader or you will needlessly fail the mission a few times just to be able to read the into instructions. This is just bad design. 4) the enemies aren't challenging as their reaction speed is slower than molasses. I would not recommend unless you're a masochist. Everything else about the game is fine, not special.

loved the game so much

A decent fast paced shooter with a fun gimmick and abilities. Pretty short for the price though, worth getting on sale.

Simple and to the point lil shooter where you gotta shoot things fast. Pretty good, just remember to set bindings to your liking. Enemies are a bit slow which makes the game somewhat easy for me, but then again difficulty is hard to get right. Worth the price if you are just looking for something fast for your FPS needs :)
