The Last Archwing
The last Archwing reminded me of the traditional plane/helicopter shooting games I used to play in the pizza parlor as a kid. The more up to date graphics and controls were nice and enjoyed the variety of funny characters. My 5 year old son was able to beat the game on casual and enjoyed the humor as well.

The Last Archwing nails game balance. It’s frustrating enough to keep you interested, but not in a way that’s discouraging. The variety of enemies is just right. The pacing is on par with the best of 2D side scrolling and vertical scrolling games. It’s nostalgic in a way that brings back the classic game feel, but because of the story, music, graphics (specifically lighting) and voice acting, the game is firmly placed into the modern era of games. A shout out to the barrel roll game mechanic for being easy to use but hard to master. Smashing multiple enemies with one roll is immensely satisfying. Deciding between using barrel roll and Death Wave adds a layer of depth that is compelling. The music choice for the different levels and opening sequence is superb. I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I am enjoying this game.

While not perfect, the game is very well done from a mechanics standpoint. The story lines can be a bit janky at times and in its current state there are quite a few issues in the second half of the game where apostrophes and extra line breaks make the text less than ideal. At its core, this is a shoot-em-up space combat game on a two dimensional plane so more like driving than flying, but the visuals are interesting and the gameplay solid. Interested to see more development on this one.

Multiple Gun Setups
Multiple Ships and Secret Unlockables
Multiple Upgrades
Great galaxy mapping system
Star systems really submerge the player; all of them have multiple points of interest, ways to make credits, quest lines and possible enemies or places to upgrade your ship.
Mission progression setup well; by following the progression of mission the player gets deeper into the game.
Battles seem fast and fun
Multiple enemy types to deal with; some fast and less accurate, others slower but more powerful

I like the 4x game with Mecha idea,

I have know clue whats going on
or how to play I know this game has potential
but in think it needs to go back in the oven for a bit.
Any ways not bad for less than the cost of a cup coffee

Debris Field
Got a job for you
A simple smash and grab, nothing too complicated. You see, during the evacuation of the now corrupted sectors, a whole lot of valuable material got left behind. Most of that material is still there, just waiting for someone crazy enough to fight their way through the endless swarm of crazed zealots that guard the place.
But I trust that won’t be a problem for a madman like you.
About

You will have to fight your way through a series of unforgiving arenas, learning to use Newtonian movement to give yourself an edge over your enemies. Upgrade your ship and your weapons along the way whatever you can find, but don’t take too long, as the enemy will soon overwhelm you.
The full game contains:
Physics based movement
5 unique levels with different terrain and enemies
Several starting ships, with different stats and loadouts
A dynamic system of incremental stacking upgrades
A persistent difficulty over time system to keep you on your toes
