Guns and Grapples

I absolutely love this game! It takes a while to master, but I enjoy playing it. 8 hours in and I’m only on world 5 because you can play this game in so many different ways! Great for completionists, speed runners, and casual gamers! I normally can’t play platformers for long before getting bored. But the challenge this game provides keeps me hooked! I highly recommend trying!

Loving the old school arcade vibes of this one, but with hidden depths you’ll discover as you play. I was genuinely pleased to get a score that wasn’t a negative! Recommend if you’re old enough to have played the originals, or young enough to have only seen arcade games on your mobile phone.

Good things:

It is quite ok for a school project.

Bad things:

In 15 minutes you will see everything that this game has to offer. Every few levels you get an weapon upgrade but these upgrades stop at level 8. After that you only get more and more things to shoot at appear at the same time on the screen. I was able to get to level 16 and it was ridiculous. The game was throwing 8-10 objects at the same time and they do bonce off from one another so there are many object going straight down to make you lose instead of bouncing from left to right like in the first 12 levels.

Lots of explosions. Lots of your little ship getting blown up/smashed/crushed like the tin can that it is. Lots of “wait, we’re trying to fly a spaceship through what?” Lots of that sinking feeling when you realize that the maneuver you’re supposed to pull off to get to the next level isn’t even remotely close to being a sane thing to do in a spaceship. Lots of that awesome feeling when you manage to pull it off anyway, followed by despair when the levels abandon any pretense of being dangerous but essentially neutral and start actively trying to eat your ship. Sometimes, lots of spiders.

Did you like the games Asteroids and Defender? If you did, this game is a modern version of those games mashed together. The controls for the game are awesome, and the graphics are very nice. The game feels really polished, I haven’t noticed any bugs or glitches yet. The only thing I would wish for that the game doesn’t include is online co-op, everything else is spot on. Challenging and fun, everything this type of game should be. Thank you Really Slick for making a superb game!

I’ve played this game a lot on the Nintendo Switch with a friend of mine and yeah, this game’s really fun, but also challenging, with almost every level being a different task and always in different ways. Especially after the first levels oh boy if it’s gonna be tough, but don’t worry: co-op exists for a reason right? ;)

Good game. I liked it. I remembered when I was a kid and played that kind of game.

This game appears to be a tribute to the classic Activision game, River Raid. Unfortunately, in trying to modernize the game with added features like a health bar, collectibles, bullet-hell, and side-scrolling, it loses everything that made Carol Shaw’s classic clever and fun. The original game challenged you to survive a gauntlet of ships and planes timed to collide with your plane while you could only bank left-right, speed up, slow down, and shoot one missile at a time, and you could only refuel flying over a tank and lingering as long as possible. The original design was brilliant, unique, and never replicated. The new features make it the same as any other “modern” bullet-hell game with a mediocre implementation, and some backstory scenes that only made me cringe. Instead, I recommend the original Atari emulation, or better yet the Atari 8-bit port that has improved scenery.

City Siege: Faction Island

City Siege: Faction Island

The intro song is very cool, that’s one thing that this game has going for itself. The game itself is a fairly simple 2D shooter game with some strategic and platformer action in it, making it a very nice and enjoyable combo game.

The game really is quite fun to play with a lot of destructive elements for you to enjoy and experience. Your units can be upgraded making them better and stronger to use. The game has a combo system that really enhances the experience of the game, last but not least, the physics behind the game is really amazing , for the price you really get an amazing little gem here, this game is really worth a shot.

The visuals and music are fantastic with game play to match.

Feels amazing to play and the extra challenge of getting S Ranks can be addicting.

Gravity Ace takes the good bits of classic 80s shooters and slaps on fresh new coat of–

  • Beautiful pixel art

  • Juicy explosions

  • KIller music

  • Fun lore tidbits

  • Unlimited Replayability

The journey to become an “Ace” starts when you beat the campaign. You get stats and a rank for every level. S, A, B, and so on. Between speedrunning and a slick level editor, hard to say what it means to “beat” Gravity Ace. There’s always something to do.

I could see a pretty fun speedrunning community coming out of this. Would love to see some streamers pick it up.
