Some Unique Ideas, But Really Just Another Fixed Shoot Em Up In Space
This review is for the Apple II version

Look: 8/10 Nice and pretty animated title screen. enter image description here

Pretty gameplay+UI as well. Gotta love the Apple II. enter image description here

While the depth idea didn't really add much, the sci-fi screens themselves were some of the best parts of the game. enter image description here

Sound: 5/10 I like that it's actual music but quite annoying.

Play: 6/10 Fortunately very forgiving with the enemies' collision masks. Otherwise just another fixed shoot em up game. The "innovative" depth idea didn't really add anything fun or substantial to the game. Kinda cool I guess. It got old pretty quickly, but a good shoot em up. Oh, forgot to mention: really impressive, responsive, tight controls for a microcomputer action game.

Feel: 7/10 Neat concept and setting, and I like the UI. It all comes together to be a really nice game, but nothing special as I journey along. Worth a playthrough if you love shoot em ups, particularly fixed ones!

Attachment: 6/10 Not a bad game, but moving on! And not looking back :-p
