Verisim Skies

Certainly worth the price, even if you only intend to play it through a single time (takes about an hour). The pixel graphics and simple, colourful style are a treat to look at. The variety on display is impressive both in terms of level design and visuals. Moment-to-moment gameplay feels very satisfying, although it will be a bit easy to veterans of the genre. I don't feel like there's much replay value, and the gameplay systems and structure are extremely bare-bones. However, I blame that more on the limitations of the engine than on any design flaws. Again, for the price, it's a well-crafted and enjoyable experience.

a story that's kind of a nothingburger, trying to allude to things and be interesting but without an initial hook to draw someone in. a difficulty that's overall very low and has bizarrely placed peaks and valleys and tons of dead air. no deep scoring system to optimize and no unique mechanics. i liked it. won't play it ever again, but i liked it.

An unusually cinematic narrative-heavy shmup. The gameplay is pretty basic, the art style is uncommon but nothing fancy, and the control really doesn't feel good, but it's an unusual take on shmup with interesting story-presentation and good use of epic (free) orchestral music that for some reason isn't commonly used in shmup. It's recommended simply on the novelty experience.

A well designed shmup with an entertaining story, especially the Zero Ranger philosophy influenced ending. Nice graphics and a space opera style soundtrack that's just superb. Well worth the small price, Hope to se more from this "author".

This is a terrific, well-polished and even SHMUP that's great for newcomers to the genre such as myself and I think veterans will also find some aspects to appreciate as well. It avoids some of the more aggravating functions you get with more classic SHMUPs and allows you plenty of lives, continues and a mission selection screen, so even all your lives, you don't have to start the entire game over again. Between a first-time developer pouring their heart into their creation and I, an avid player trying to get their toes wet in a new genre, I think we both came away with an amazing experience. I really do like this game a lot and am already eager to replay it some more.

Pretty easy game. You get about 10 lives and each has 4 hp, unless you run into a rock or enemy then it 1 shots you. I beat it with 8 lives left, and I'm just an intermediate player. I didn't try arcade mode yet. There was a lot of down time. Not sure if arcade mode removes those pieces. There were some moons - I missed two of them an not sure what they do. The game is good for 1-2 play throughs.
