I don't write many Reviews.

I think most Games do not deserve, or need my opinion.
And I usually don't feel well as an advertisement writer.
But this one game is different. For me, this is a hidden Gem.

This is the only game i play everyday for 5-10 minutes. Since more then a Year.
No other game got me hooked like this. I think I can say I like it a bit.
Maybe it is just a me-thing. Maybe it appeals just to my personal taste.

It is arcade-y, and in a way that makes it great ... I love the Explosions.
The graphics look simple. I like the minimalism. It makes it very clear and pure.
But it has a lot of depth. In the way you upgrade, your timings, how you fly.
And it is unforgiving. If you make mistakes you pay for them right away.
Yet it is so casual that you don't ever get angry. You just play another round.

The game gives every day a random Challenge, with different waves of enemies.
And there are daily leader-boards and Achievements.
Its addicting, but in a good way.

Jets.
Enjoy the Explosions.
Bombers - Rockets!
Circling - Find your Rhythm.
Scorpions.
Miners - Don't fail to Evade.
Raptor!
Kill the Carriers.
Impostor.
Upgrade your Ship.
Tank.
Lasers.
Repeat.
...
Fly fast and keep the Streak.
You will always die.
...
High Score.

I think many more people should play this hidden gem.
And its so cheap, you have no excuse not to.
Please play the game, and beat my score.

Good Luck.

EDIT:
After 547 Days played & 152 Hours gametime, I got the "Furious" Achievement.
Finally the Achievements are complete.

Well see, it is hard to find time for anything nowadays (for me at least). You find me in the scoreboard of FA currently maybe 1-2 times a week. I still try to play when I can, but there are also a bunch of better players then I am playing. Have fun. :happy:

I hope you find it worthy of your time like I did. The scoreboards are part of the reason for coming back, and the learning curve is real but totally satisfying. Friend request coming so you have something to aim for. :)

Yes, sorry for that crash. I do have Geometry Wars 3, but i haven't played it yet.
Putting it on my shortlist, thank you for the tip :thumbsup:

I wanted to check and see if you had played Geometry Wars 3, but your game list is so long it just crashes Steam. If you haven't played it, I think you would find the game a whole other level of this one.
