We made a game for you - To play while you are downloading

GAMEPLAY
"While you are Downloading" is a action paced arcade shooter, heavily inspired by coin eating shoot'em up games from the past. It's ment to be easy and quick to pick up and to be easy to learn and hard to master.

Try to survive for as long as you can, in this infinite game. Shoot enemies to survive and pick up their green energy to increase your score. Pickup weapons upgrade as you stay alive, and upgrade and unlock your weapons as you progress through the game.

The game features multiple of fancy and cool weapons, and the enemy type gets increasingly more difficult as you manage to survive. So the challenge increase while your skill increase, always challenging you to beat you high score.

Very easy to control as you only control the ship with left and right(not a twin stick shooter). Use you keyboard or your gamepad. As the game takes place in the future, there are no need for a fire button, the ship fires automatically!

OUTRO
So do you have 5 minutes? Do you have 2 minutes? Do you have 1 minutes?

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this as a fun, classic arcade-style space shooter with charming retro aesthetics that's perfect for casual play during downtime, like while waiting or downloading other games. However, most note that the gameplay is extremely simple and repetitive, making it entertaining only for short bursts rather than extended play sessions, with some suggesting it would work better as a mobile game than a full PC release.

A basic and fun space shooter, you control a spaceship and shoot enemy spaceships, you also collect power-ups to shoot more stuff! Play while you are downloading something else for maximum effect :) https://youtu.be/iFVb0pQ82HM

TL:DR This is a great super simple classic arcade style game, But it gets old pretty fast. This game has a great visual style and really captures the feel of old school arcade games. And that's both it's best and worst feature. Because were talking Missile Commander, Lunar Lander, Space Invaders levels of retro simplicity. You turn a ship left or right as it moves and fires at preset intervals at alien ships to get a high score. Thais it. That all that this is. But that's not bad. I spent more then my share of quarters at my local pizza place on games like this and they are a fun way to kill some time. But killing a few minutes at a time is all this game is really good for. I think it would have fair better as a phone game then a PC release. Its almost to casual to take the time and start up. Unless you are, like it title suggests playing while waiting for a download to finish. All in all its only a $1.00 and definitely worth playing while waiting for that next big patch to your favorite game to download.

I've only played around 10 minutes so far, but i'm liking where this game is going! I'm looking forward to future updates and I will update this review along with the game.

It's a fun little game, the dev is really honest with his work. If you've got a buck lying around in your steam account from trading cards it's a fun game to play. I hope the dev works more, but it's nice in it's current state. Still worth a buy, it's only the price of some candy at a store's checkout anyways. :)
