I have to say it plays just as fluid ( I mean it, this game goes fast! ), with the advantage I can play on the go.
Gameplay:
You're in control of a spaceship, going at light speed inside a wormhole dodging and shooting your way through. The game perspective is quite unique as you revolve around the wormhole instead of just going forward on a flat plane. You also have special zones along the way that do various stuff such as increase your firepower, change your weapon type, activate shield, etc...
Controls:
The controls are very good and simple yet, the game gets hardcore after the first boss kill. As the game description states, you can touch the screen on the sides and they don't cover what's going on which is important since it gets pretty difficult at time (but in a good sense).
Difficulty:
As I mentioned above, the game goes easy on you at first, but after a while you'll be using all your brain power to dodge the incoming stuff that gets thrown at you: bullets, enemies, barriers, death zones... you get the point. I like the fact that although it gets complex, you can still make sense of what's going on and when you die, you know we're you made a mistake. I personally don't enjoy all out senseless bullet storms.
Progression:
This game seems to have a blend of pattern based gameplay with some randomness involved. What this means is that after playing for couple of hours (yes, it's that good) you begin to recognize some of the patterns, but the never play exactly the same. Some may hate this, some will surely love it. IMHO I feel this keeps the game fresh and really sharpens my skills.
Graphics:
The game has a pretty unique visual. A fine mixture between a vector style retro shooter and something futuristic. Kind of reminds me of Tron. The colors are vivid and there is a color code to the game which helps you navigate and survive.
Sound:
It seems you are the commander on board, and there is an A.I. informing you on the ship status, and some other details. The A.I. even congratulates you when you take out a boss (I've seen about 4 different ones so far).
To sum it up:
I find this to be one of the best shmups I've seen in a while. Why? This game presents you with well balanced difficulty, smooth controls, and clear visuals. It's not often you find these in the same package. I just hope the developers keep working on this little gem because I would surely like to see even more features added in the future.… Expand
