    I love top-down shooters. Unfortunately this is one of those aggravating games that shows you trailers of the action you crave but fails to deliver after the game is less than 20% complete.
    The action is in fact very nice. The controls could be a little tighter but overall not to bad. The problem is with the difficulty curve. It starts out easier as most games do, but by the end of    I love top-down shooters.

    The action is in fact very nice. The controls could be a little tighter but overall not to bad. The problem is with the difficulty curve. It starts out easier as most games do, but by the end of the 2nd level, the boss is outrageous with hundreds of projectiles dancing across the screen. And if you die, you have to start over at the beginning of the level. The levels are not too long but they become tedious when you have to repeat them 30 to 50 times.
    I think the game would have been better if there were power-ups or upgrades that you could earn that would stick with you for future run throughs. But alas, the power-ups remain the same each time even coming from the same locations or fallen enemies.
    For a $5 price, its not bad, but with simple adjustments, this game could have been made great. Just be prepared to not get past the 2nd or 3rd level before uninstalling (never-mind the 10+ levels available)    … Expand

    Looks and plays like old school game but falls into the phone app games.How far can you get while upgrading weapons while on one life bar.You do get an extra life occasionally or I should say try as you lose all of your weapon upgrades.It be nice to stick to the 3 life rule and see how high of a score you get.

    Blue Rider was supposed to be a new twist on an old genre, but it sort of falls short of the marker. That doesn't change the fact that it was enjoyable and fun.
