The Bits That Saved the Galaxy

I enjoyed the first one and this one feels similar but a bit more polished.

The Bits That Saved the Galaxy is a really fun, interesting, and varied game. Roughly half of the levels are run & gun style, ala Contra.. and then the other half of the levels are a variety of different gameplay styles which I will mention later. The pacing is on point, and because of all this variety, you never get bored while playing it. The controls are very tight and responsive. Nothing to complain about here. The graphics are simple, but generally effective. They look similar to vector style graphics. There are a few bosses that admittedly do look poorly drawn, but it doesn't really detract from the experience. There are a variety of different alien worlds to blast your way through, all with unique looking backdrops and color palettes. The character's sprite is very small, and the screen usually stays centered on it... No wonky camera angles here. The sound effects are crispy and satisfying. The music unfortunately is poor and one of the game's weakest points. (Sorry developer! I'm a musician myself though, so I may be biased here) There are a lot of different weapons: The basic shot, spreadfire, flac cannon, bi-directional shot, and a few others. Much like Contra, usin…

Great game! It's incredible to see there were so many gameplay modes added and vehicles that change the dynamics of the game. I beat the game, enjoyed the music, and the background at the beach-planet was very vivid. The graphic style with the neon colors are amazing.

just like in the original the undead level is broken and has no end. when you get to the second stage it just scrolls on forever with no end in a black void. I am sad to have to leave a negative review but i can't recommend this due to it being impossible to beat
