    Pwawrumi is a vertical scrolling arcade shooter with a twist and an Epic Soundtrack! You are Axo, pilot of the Chukaru ship, on a mission of vengeance. The game plays like most any other game of it's genre, shoot the enemies, dodge the bullets, with a twist. The Trinity mechanic gives you 3 weapons, each mapped to the matching color button on your controller.

The game plays like most any other game of it's genre, shoot the enemies, dodge the bullets, with a twist. The Trinity mechanic gives you 3 weapons, each mapped to the matching color button on your controller. Green (A) is the Serpent missiles, a twisting column of small missiles that fire straight forward from your ship. Blue (X) gives you the Condor Laser, firing a beam in front of your ship that passes through enemies. Last is Red (B) the Jaguar missiles, they arc forward from the sides of your ship and lock onto enemies in a cone in front of the ship. All of your enemies are imbued with the same spirits (colors) and react differently to each attack. Hitting an enemy with the same color charges your shields, allowing you to take more hits. The opposing color deals double damage, and the adjacent color charges your special. (Y) Activates your special, launching hundreds of homing missiles, and activates a temporary shield. These mechanics are crucial to victory! The soundtrack is incredible and fits the mood of each situation. Pawarumi features three difficulties, each with their own ending. A fast Paced Shoot"Em Up I recommend to almost anyone!… Expand

    For $14.99, Pawarumi offers up a weak story, overly simplistic gameplay, very sparse content and a gameplay system that offers up no reason to continue playing, ever. This game is actually a heartbreaker for me because I wanted to love this, but I can't overlook the sparse content and all the flaws that come within the game itself. If you're a fan of shumps then look elsewhere for a quality title and pass on Pawarumi until a big sale.

    It’s just too basic and doesn’t live up to a lot of things being released these days. I understand it’s more of a throwback to the old school arcade shooters, but even they seem to offer more. The story itself is a bit confusing and a bit hard to follow. It’s not a bad game by all means although it’s nothing that should be on your radar.

    Pawarumi is a game that take back the spirit of classic shooters like Ikaruga, but made with modern tech. With a futuristic pre columbine design and great gameplay, is a real challenge for all of those who try to beat it.
