This game is great fun! For anyone who is into arcade style score chasers, this is a must have! At 1$, this is a total bargain. It is repetitive, but, somehow, that isn’t really a negative with this game. It really works with it. It is light-hearted from the art style, to the music. Lots of fun and a good way to just jump into a game and unwind.

Planet Hotpot
Still very rough around the edges, I believe in the next few months there’ll be a lot of improvements in the interface and depth of the game. For now, it plays smooth and has a well-defined gameplay loop (kill aliens, get powerups, kill aliens better).
I do recommend this game, but make no mistake this IS very early access at the moment so best not to go in expecting a complete game.

Now and again you come across an indie game that is so bad, so terribly made that it goes through the arse end of “terrible” and comes out being fun to play. ‘Planet Hotpot’ is one of those games. From the terrible controls to the basic graphics and truly laughable enemies, but it is mad as a box of frogs to play but oddly is so bad it becomes fun! The enemies fly around and glitch out as if they are supposed to do so and the action is relentless. But there seems to be no point to the game other than surviving as long as you can! At least it only costs a few quid and I am not quite sure why I even want to recommend this game, but I am. Maybe I have become so immune to the crap VR games Steam pumps out that I have finally lost my mind.

Freedom Finger
The silly and offensive art style is what drew me to this game, not the musicians or voice actors. Despite its cartoony look Freedom Finger is a proper shmup. You have a ship and you shoot enemies with plenty of bullets, enemies and walls to be dodged. The game has two unique game mechanics for a shmup namely grabbing and punching. It’s a bit unusual but it is quite fun. It allows for a lot of different ways to play a level.
Fortunately there’s no shop with upgrades for your ship, you can follow the story but also just hop into any level and start competing for the leaderboard. If you want an upgrade go grab an enemy ship!

-QUICK FIRE REVIEW (If you don’t have time to watch the gameplay video)
-Story:
Save the American Lunar base from the Chinese who have taken over!
-Graphics:
Very cartoonish. Kinda of reminds me of the adult cartoons you’d see on Adult Swim.

First off this game is a cute, humble, little game that actually is quite challenging. I really do like this game for the art style and the cute (though threatening) fishes. I can’t wait to see where this game will end up!
I would like to see more animations like with the bubbles and fishes.
More animals or even costumes would also be a great addition.
More gamemodes of course would be kind of cool.
A story mode for example would be interesting.
Hope those ideas help at least in the slightest. :D

Glorkian Warrior: The Trials Of Glork
This is a fine Shm’up (or a Shoot & Jump’em up?) if you like it wacky. The gameplay is a bit random, but it’s fine if you are after some casual fun. Sometimes you get really strong weapons and easy enemies, the next time you get a lot of rocks and astro litter (yes, the game is wacky).
To be honest, I really glork this game and played it quite a bit. However, the randomness, or the lack of balancing, makes it impossible to take this game seriously or play it on a pro-level. There are some tactics
! like waiting before you collect crackers and weapons/upgrades - avoid certain weapons (like the Flarf) using flame spitters to generate gold crackers and get energy out of not needed equipment, and such - but ultimately you cannot fully control your own fate and you will struggle with the weak design (like angrymons take too many hits, often you get big waves of them that deplete all your energy and weapons - and then you have to start from scratch, meteor/tetris storm often break your killing spree and deplete your energy, etc, some guns consume energy too quickly, like the Flarf, or too week like the Twisty gun) and even bugs/inconsistencies (e.g. the camera view is very often not perfect, and a lot of things happen off-screen, sometimes a hit takes more or less of your hearts (but maybe the invaders are also using weapons with power mods, who knows). I am rambling because I would like to see this game in a line with some of the great invaders-like Shm’ups - but it just does not have what it takes.

As a fan of James Kochalka’s comics and records, I had to get this and I am glad it turned out to be be pretty good.
Glorkian Warrior is Space Invaders style shooter with autofire and a jump button. Instead of fixed levels, the games randomizes the successive waves of aliens as well as various other elements such as the ground you stand on or side challenges handed over by a pair of bossy sisters.
Enemies drop power-ups as expected and they are sorely needed as your default laser is slow and weak. The rare moments when you’re stuck with your default with no upgrades in sight feel a bit underwhelming.

Spitting Z
Spit into the microphone-kill the zombies!
In this exciting and dynamic game you have to protect your harvest from pumpkin-eating zombies who got into the habit to visit your garden! To do this, you have a magic spitting stick!
You have to protect your pumpkins for 3 minutes from the hungry, but funny zombies.
The game is available in two levels of “Farm” and “City”, to start the level - shoot the screen where it is displayed.
On the easy level of difficulty, you need to protect 6 pumpkins from pumpkin-eating zombies, on the average - 4 and on the difficult - 2 pumpkins respectively.
You’ll get more points at the higher levels of difficulty.
Also do not forget the birds - they bring more points than the zombies!
You will receive your points only if you win the round - at a loss the points are not charged!
-
Tactics is everything for us! Sometimes it is more profitable to give a pumpkin to one zombie for shooting then all the zombies that will pass by you!
-
Use a few seconds at the beginning of each round, when the time had already started, but the zombies have not appeared yet, to shoot as many birds as possible, because during the attack of zombies it is much more difficult to do it!
-
Try to shoot zombies in the head - so you can kill them faster!
Wreck the Insects
Wreck the Insects - An arcade-style shootem' up with a floral twist!
Play as Lilly, your average everyday overweight cat who wishes to have the best garden around! However, disaster strikes. Hoards upon hoards of unique, crazy types of insects begin to swarm around poor Lilly’s garden, like a fly to a light! Or in this case, a fly to a flower.
Lilly does not have her own life bar-instead, a player’s goal is to defend the flowers at the bottom of the screen. There are many ways to achieve this, and it’s up to you to find out the best methods for exterminating these creatures!
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.

Metal Swarm Infinity
Very nice and very affordable retro space action shooter in the line of old school Galaga.

This game offers a choice to play with mouse & keyboard, mouse alone, or a controller. Just make sure you select which option you want to use in the game options before starting a game. While I’d like to see the options off sliders for the sound effects and music, an off or on switch for these is all that’s currently available. There are also no resolution settings, but there is a full screen or window option which helps.
