    POWER-UP is the modern-retro styled Shoot-Em-Up from one-man game studio, Psychotic Psoftware.

    Spanning vibrant locations to a monster soundtrack, Power-Up thrusts you into battle with a diverse range of fighters, freighters and titanic level guardians. If you loved retro SHMUP classics like R-Type, Hellfire or Project-X, you'll get a kick out of Power-Up's slick, detailed visuals, challenging gameplay and impressive arsenal of weapons.

I've played this as a reviewer for youtube and it was a great title. The art is clear and great quality. The xbox controller and keyboard controls both work well. There is unlock-able skins for the starship. If you like retro games which feature starship 2D shooting with a variety of enemy types then this is for you. The major pro to this game is the situational use of the laser. You select from a variety of laser types some that shoot backwards some to the side etc. Each one of these is more advantageous for each enemy depending on where they come from. One man made this game and he made a really great game considering how much goes into a game. It's a great game and deserves a 10 for the amount of content in a amazingly priced game. Expand
