ASTRO AQUA KITTY
Surprised this doesn’t have a higher rating. Maybe people are disappointed because they are comparing it to the first game and this game is very different. The first game was great because it has these crunchy controls with old school arcade-paced levels. This game is not like that. Unlike Milk Mine Defender, where you can only go left and right in an infinite loop, these are open maps where you have to hunt around and collect specific things. Also unlike Milk Mine, the powerups are not temporary but are items which can be collected and upgraded. Personally, I love it. It’s like if Star Fox was a 16-bit rpg with all the little side-quests and boss battles. But if you were expecting a continuation of Milk Mine, I can see why it would be disappointing.

Now I have finished it, I can say it worst its price. It is a very lovely sequel and a quality product for an indy title.
ASTRO AQUA KITTY is such an improvement compared to the previous one.
Now it is an Action RPG shoot-em-up with classes and multiples weapons. An immersive and even more cute artistic direction, a minded and polished level design that increase in size level after level and give you various tasks, all served by very good musics.
Devs made it with great care and you can feel it.

It’s time to get out from the solar system
This is an extremely low quality vertical scrolling arcade shootemup/bullet hell game. The objective is to fight through waves of enemies, perform limited ship upgrades, and eventually escape the solar system.
While the quality here is very low, the developer didn’t use retro pixel graphics, which makes this immediately better than thousands of games on Steam. The game runs properly in fullscreen and even supports 4K graphics, again better than thousands of games on Steam. The downsides, however, are significant. The graphics are of very low quality and bad to look at. The controls are lethargic and the ship moves like a slug. The translation is too terrible to make the story digestible. It’s just not fun. And what’s with the unskippable intro that replays when you die and goes on for an eternity?

Back in 2014 this was not the worst shoot em' up on steam for under 5$. It it still not the worst shoot em' up on steam in 2020. There is plenty of other shoot em' ups this generation for the same price. This game is lacking content compared to todays shoot em' up and this game is no longer being updated or supported. So if you are looking for e decently fun game for about this price, this is fine but keep looking they is alot more out there.

ThrustLander
I really love Thrustlander. Originally it was a launch title for the much vaunted new Atari VCS Linux Super Console that came out last year. I have to say as soon as I saw it, I wanted it. Though there was nothing else on the VCS for me to buy so I forgot about that idea. Then I noticed it was getting a PC release. I immediately put it in my wishlist. So I am really happy that today I get to play it.
Well I have been playing it for months actually. I was one of the select few who got to play it early. Below is my review of a truly great game. Where other modern retro games fail this one has succeeded.

This is a great game, some real retro goodness. It brings back memories of Lunar Lander, Thrust, and Oids. While simple in nature, it gets quite hard later on. The graphics are excellent, the little touches like the landing gear extracting while refueling are top notch. The controls are fluid and responsive, I’m using an xbox one controller for it, and the game is quite fun. If you’re a fan of retro shooters, get this game.

Vortex Attack: ボルテックスアタック
73 / 100
Being more of a retro throwback to the 8-bit arcade games, Vortex Attack (VA) does not bring much new to the genre, yet I found myself having quite a bit of fun challenging my high scores & pushing further through the levels. Leaning more on the easy side, getting through much of the game’s levels will not take a lot of time to conquer. Once you get the hang of things, powering through the main 50 levels may take you 30 mins, but getting a high scoring run is more challenging.

While this game is a great idea and has some good things going for it, there are some issues that do need to be fixed, particularly with UI and menus. When initially setting up for the first time, moreso when using a controller, the main menus are extremely hard to navigate and initial controller setup is much harder than it should be-it’s way too hard to see what you’re trying to select as the background keeps fading in/out and it randomly switches into and out of demo mode seemingly on it’s own, and the controls don’t feel as responsive as they should be. The gameplay itself generally is fine-think an attempt at mashing up Galaga & bullet hell shooters-but sometimes with a gamepad controls feel a bit too loose and could be tightened up a bit.
