Vermitron

A very cute ZX Spectrum styled twin-stick shooter mixed with tower defense. It may not look like it, but it's quite similar to Dungeon of the ENDLESS :D A must for all 8-bit fans!

Even if I didn't finish the game, I appreciate indie developer's labor of love to produce these retrogames. Kudos to you FobTi, hope to see you in some future titles that come across in backlog.

A fantastic twin stick shooter. It's more complex than you think though. You have a base that has your flower that you have to protect. The mini map is earned, although I think it should have been received automatically. When you obtain 3 watering cans and bring them to the flower, you go to the next level. It's not as simple as it seems though. Also, to get every upgrade from the store for half price, you have to beat a maze. The maze was very frustrating at first, but once you know the pattern it's easy. The whole game probably took me an hour to figure out what was going on, but once I got the hang of it, it was smooth sailing. Make sure you build the turrets up to protect your flower. I'm still not sure which turret does what. The only negative for me was in the beginning when I didn't earn the minmap, searching for the base with the watering can in hand. The teleport won't work when you are holding a watering can. Also, the flashing red lights were disorienting, and hurt my eyes. Overall, this is a hidden gem, but it will take some time getting used to. I played the whole way through, and the game took me 6 hours to complete the 12 levels. Hidden gem. Controller friendly.

Game description key-points: This Gamash, utterly annoying pixeled mash, hurts badly to look at it! Overview: If I would have a time machine, would send it in the psst like a top entertaining game of early `90 might do as a time burner for the youngest, however would not let them :D

Vermitron is incredibly fun and all consuming. From a visual standpoint the graphics are lovely and are such a nostalgic throwback for retro gaming. The game-play is engaging enough where I could see myself playing it all day (I just bought it). The only thing I don't understand is how this doesn't have more user reviews - it's a great price for the time that was put into this game and the functions you can perform in it. TBH, it should be a crime how underplayed this is. If you like space/cats/dogs/protecting the last flower from earth that also smells for some reason, shooter games with strategy elements and a bit of tower defense involved, then this game is for you.

I really want to like the game, since there is something there. I like the art, but the gameplay is a little too confusing and I find the words a little hard to read with that font choice. I will definitely still try out this game again, but I find the lack of information given to the player mildly annoying and just makes me want to stop playing. Like I had an alert pop up on the screen that I found a new weapon the blaster, but I have no idea how to switch to it or if I need to purchase it in the shop. I think that the developer just needs to work on helping the player understand how to play their game more. Once they do that I think they will have some absolutely great games.
