Look: 9/10
Best part of the game for sure, the desert vibes wow (I know it's supposed to be another world, but I like it this way ha). Great title screen, love the colors and the flashing.

A bit too difficult for me. I have a lot of respect for the game, but can't claim I'm good enough to find it fun ha. I know I say this all the time, but another game that reminds me how mediocre I am at gaming lol. I don't think I will ever fully get used to the controls and turning back and forth, but I got decent at it and the fact I push through such a difficult game for a while says a lot. Still, a few too many buttons for my taste, maybe would be more fun with a gamepad hmmm. If I ever return to it..
Feel: 8/10
Innovative, love the look, love the concept, and undeniably well-executed. Challenging and seemingly rewarding, though I didn't push too far considering my skill levels heh. Could have benefited from a Novice/easier difficulty level option. I love the high speeds that can be reached, and i love love love the desert graphics. Plus, despite not being that big of a fan of the controls to accomplish it, the turning back and forth is actually quite smooth. I wound up not giving up on it and getting much better getting through a few attack waves, which is sign of a good game when I push through intensive challenges (and isn't a Zelda/console action-adventure ha). oh, and pro-tip (tho this is true of all the early shooters with minimaps so far ha): definitely helps to use the minimap/radar to plan, getting used to the thrust and turn around buttons, etc.
Attachment: 7/10
The fact I went back to it to try to get further/get more used to the convoluted controls, and the fact I wanna retry it with a gamepad, says a lot... but still. Doubtful I will be returning to it. Still if you like arcade scrolling shooters, this one should definitely be on your list. And if I ever return to the genre, it should be on my list too. As I've said a few times, it's a bit too difficult for me but great graphics, well-tuned controls and execution, and undeniably well-made.
