The Cruise 2

The Cruise is an abandoned 2D retro pixel Space Invaders/Galaga ripoff. While it's not in Early Access, it's incomplete and lacking features that will never be added to the game. The two game modes that were implemented are a boss rush mode and an endless mode where you shoot stuff and dodge bullets. The controls are fairly wonky as the ship erratically aims left and right. There's a series of ship upgrades, and belying the developers true, if failed intentions for this unfinished game, it looks like there's the stub of a cash shop. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted desig…

The game dev was kind enough to share a copy of this game with me so I could write a review. After a few hours of game play I can say it delivers on the description. This game is a space, retro, Galaga style game. My critiques would be that a lot goes on on screen at once and can be a little overwhelming, as well as I would like more in game progression such as power ups while playing, rewarding you for surviving a longer amount of time/making you stronger or healing you over time. I like the class concept and the bosses/mode for 1v1ing bosses. Overall a good game especially for a learning/new game dev. I would recommend getting the game for some fun and over just the fact that the main dev/creator is very kind and put a lot of effort into this for their first game.

Worked with my linux laptop! (proton steam thingy)

Excited for the overhail

Really pretty fun and i was surprised with how many different classes and abilities there were. I'd love a campaign for this game for sure, good work!

[h1]Before I played The Cruise, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
