NB: This is the only game i've ever played that literally can't be played without a gamepad. It doesn't even have menu controls. Worse, you actually get stuck on a screen that requires you to press a gamepad button.

Waiting for the Drop

Read moreAaero is a combination of a rhythm game and rail-shooter, I enjoyed it despite the Dubstep soundtrack. Bouncing between lines to the beat a la Amplitude is great fun but when combat does pop up the game feels a bit too chaotic and it’s hard to get a good read on the screen to see if you’ve locked-on to all the targets that you wanted to. For example, the target reticule, lock-on icon, and danger icon are all the same shade of red. It’s very cool and impressive that this was made by only two people! I would like have liked to see more music variety (anything besides more Dubstep, really) and some improvements to the combat, but this was still a fun time.
