Temporal Storm X: Hyperspace Dream

I'm playing this game for the first time in 2021. So, things have changed a bit since the game came out and since most reviews have been posted so far. They must have quietly updated the game without changing the description because now, when you load the game, you can reassign the controls to any keyboard keys you like. You can also use mouse buttons as well. So, that issue that many people have had with the game is fixed. It's still a smooth playing game that works great on my Windows 8.1 64 bit PC with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti video card and 8 MB of RAM. It's a blast to play and it's like if the guys who made Gyruss decided upgrade the graphics, add powerups and ramp up the difficulty more gradually than they did in the arcade version back in the day. The only negative I have about the game is that there are times when the pretty graphics get a bit too busy and complicated, making it a little hard to see your targets coming at you. This is especially the case when a huge ship flies in behind the grid that you are flying along. These ships look very cool, but there's almost too much detail now which makes things flying in front of the difficult to see since every ship I'…

Created a steam account just to buy this game. Love it.. and the World ranking system is going to make for some great competition. The game play is very addictive. The music and sound effects are great. and the graphics are awesome. Its a smashup of old school retro gaming with a modern flashy polish! Great work... Hah current world ranking is #6. Better watch out #1 I'm coming for you!

Excellent retro action with modern bling and a pounding soundtrack. It's Gyruss for the modern age, but with less JS Bach. The game doesn't have controller support (yet) but works well with a keyboard.

Temporal Storm X: Hyperspace Dream is a Unity based endless runner/QTE style game where you move along a set pathway and can bump yourself left or right to avoid obstacles etc. I think it's worth mentioning that Crystalmesh didn't just pump out a Unity asset flip here, they put in a bit of effort to add decent graphics and sound to a basic game format. Having written over 4,000 game reviews now, usually the first thing that makes a game unrecommendable is poor quality presentation, but here, it's okay. It's also a complete waste, the game itself is a bare bones mobile tier endless runner, you can play that kind of garbage for free. It's 2021, and Pacman isn't leading the game charts anymore because [i]the gaming industry has moved on from simple game concepts.[/i] It's a shame Crystalmesh wasted a lot of hard effort doing a makeover for a dead pig. I hope the talented guys behind the graphics and artwork move on to a game development project where they make an actual game.
