a genuinely funny game. absolutely a quarter muncher with some of its design (bullets aren't numerous but are particularly fast) but with the assist options it's a decent time. unfortunately this isn't the meme version, but despite not knowing much about the game i still found the amount of options more than satisfying. probably not the best shmup to practice scoring with but at least an interesting one to me!

objectively this isn't "terrible" but there really isn't much to do here, and i am not someone picky on gameplay or how many mechanics need to exist in a game. weird music visualizer that's more of a vibe than a game. if you want a music-mapping game, go check out Audiosurf, Beat Hazard or their sequels.

this ain't berserk but if you can ever find this in a bundle or on sale it is an alright twin-stick arcade shooter. pure scoring gameplay and not much else.

easy to pick up and hard to master, and also it's like 3 dollars so

every segment should be like 10% shorter but it's not hard to see why this became the blueprint for a lot of games

as of writing this, servers are still up. the game is cheap, so get a handful of your friends and log in dude, fly some ships and shoot each other down. i have done worse for 5 dollars.

it's a tower defence game that's more focused on a "campaign" than something more traditional like bloons, and i do not think it is very much worth your time overall. it's *fine* but there's better games and series, like the aforementioned bloons, amongst many others.

i thought the recent reviews about this game crashing a lot were exaggerated. they were not. on top of that, considering what happened to EA, just don't buy this game. you deserve better.

classic inti create game, i have no idea what happened and it feels weird but i'm sure once i get my hands on the full game and figure it out it'll click and i'll yell off the rooftops how great this game is

playing this, dropping it, then playing it after the remake just highlights the insane seams in this game. listen, i don't need bells jingled every 3 seconds to keep my attention, and i play games to enjoy them. it's by no means horrible, but it can get tedious fast because of all the backtracking and extra tacked-on steps, despite the charm you can feel in a lot of the game. i am not being very fair because i am writing this almost a decade and after the remake came out, but i would strongly recommend you go play that one instead. the remake isn't flawless either, but i do think it's a much more fun game. still leaving it as a positive because i think this game is interesting even if i would not particularly recommend you go out of your way to make a point to play it.
