About Starblast: Retro Wars

WARNING! THIS GAME IS A LIVING SIEZURE! IF YOU OR A RELATIVE SHOW RISK OF HAVING EPILEPTIC SIEZURES, RUN AWAY!

A twin-stick shooter where nothing has a defined color! Fly around the arena blasting away colorful enemies in 8 modes! Break your high-score!
Feeling cramped? Some modes give you the bomb ability, which wipes the screen clean without negatively impacting you.
Also, try using the dash mechanic to your advantage to rapidly reposition yourself.

Deadline - you get 5 minutes with an infinite amount of lives. Death can still hinder you and break your odds of beating your best score.
Mortality- the typical arcade experience.
Pacifism- lure enemies into bombs that are randomly scattered around, then blow them up.
Checkpoint- you have 10 levels with limited amounts of enemies. Make every kill count!
Titans- some enemies are randomly chosen to take several hits to kill. As if that wasn't bad enough, they are also huge!
Scorpion- you get a little laser trail that kills enemy on contact. Too bad you can't shoot.
Superthermal- Test your ability to dodge while an endless pile of lasers are constantly shot at you.
Impervious- 3 safe zones are randomly scattered around. You are only able to shoot while inside them. Unfortunately for you, lasers sometimes pierce them.

I wasn't sold on this game at first, I found the visuals to be extremely overwhelming and it was hard to tell what was going on. Once I turned the grid off in the settings, the game suddenly clicked and I had a ton of fun. [b]FULL VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTY-G8TZUXo[/b]

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
