    Z-Warp might be one of the more conventional shmups from a studio that usually leans into the experimental side, but I think it might be Panda Indie’s best yet. The mix of Cave-esque movement, creative bullet patterns, and the inventive twist on bombs makes for a satisfying bullet hell, drenched in the grimy atmosphere of its lo-fi pixel art and sci-fi horror theming. Forget what you know about clinging to your bomb stock—in Z-Warp, that button is your best friend.

    Z-Warp isn’t exactly breaking new ground, but it offers enough of a unique feel to pull in SHMUP fans looking for something new. Once you figure out how its mechanics work, they’re a lot of fun and kept my attention much longer than I initially expected. It’s the sort of game that makes you say “one more run” so often that you’ll think you’ve traveled through time.

    Z-Warp offers up some tried and tested shoot ’em up action but little besides. Those who enjoy amassing high scores should find a decent amount of enjoyment from the game, but its appeal is limited.

    This is a really fun game, but it is so short! There are only 5 short levels which means you can finish this in 15 minutes! It almost feelsThis is a really fun game, but it is so short! There are only 5 short levels which means you can finish this in 15 minutes! It almost feels like a prototype or a proof of concept for the much longer, more varied, more replayable 'Project Starship X'. Z-Warp is worth picking up when on sale, but don't expect to spend too long playing this title before you decide its time to move on to something else.… Expand
