Flight of the Athena
Lots of variety with bosses and enemies. Includes interesting time-based events mid-mission and enemies that come from all four directions, which gets pretty exciting pretty quickly. Well done, A To Play Ltd’s Flight of the Athena is pretty damn fun and very replayable!
While the portrait art may be lacking the rest of the in-game art are quite nice. Some odd design decisions on the tactical map but the actual battles and bosses are loads of fun. And multiplayer!

This game is excellent! It is a flashback to games like this that I played when I was younger but with great additions! You have two guns (one on a turret) which you control using the 2nd stock on the controller; this is great! Also there is an RPG and randomness factor which add to replayability. Got to buy it!

Danger Forever
Danger Forever is hardcore 3D scroll-shooter with rogue-lite elements.
_ Lone human rides her mecha-dragon
through hostile alien world of mechanoids and techno-demons_
Unlike most scrolling shooters, you actually fly through 3D environment — use it to your advantage, and beware bumping into walls or ground.
Also, instead of traditional showering enemies with bullets, you have to think ahead a bit — fuel/heat system adds some more depth to combat.
Levels are procedurally generated — each level is slightly different every time you play it
(but it’s not totally random of course).
Energy and materials obtained during level playthrough can be used to upgrade and customize you dragon.
You also need those materials and energy to build a spaceship to fight your way out of that hostile planet.
F E A T U R E S
► Explore over 100 levels in 6 distinct regions
World map is procedurally generated too, you can ’re-roll' your world.
► Utilize elaborate scoring system to earn energy and materials needed for upgrades
The better you score the better gear you can afford.
► Unlock new difficulty modes
On higher difficulty levels you’ll encounter enemies and hazards not present on ‘normal’ or ‘easy’.
► Upgrade and customize your dragon
Abilities and weapon-modes are unlocked and upgraded for Azure and materials earned on levels.
► Challenge yourself on specially designed infinite ‘survival’ levels
Survival levels are ranked on leaderboards.
Across the Galaxy: Stellar Dominator
Latest Review:
I’ve been playing the game on the easier difficulty and it has been fun.
I really like the art between battles. The art in battles is kind of good too.
The gameplay improved with the last update and I’m not dying instantly now.
I think what the game needs more is to be more polished in general. It’s a pretty cool concept and the execution is not bad, but needs more polishing.
I hope the devs can keep improving it, because I think the game is something special.
For now I give it a 3.5 of 5 stars.

BlastZone 2
My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.’. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- ‘Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this game gave me cancer anyway.

Apparently the blast zone is actually quite large. BlastZone 2 is a short indie side scrolling shooter (ala R-type but I wouldn’t say this game is that similar to R-type) made by solo developer Mat Edzenga. It features a number of different ships with different load outs, 8 stages filled with enemy ships, interesting 3D graphics and a few extra modes to try your hand at once you have beaten the main game. It also has local 2 players, controller support and costs only a few bucks.

Are you a fan of classic shmups ??? Then this game will have you covered !!!
Fast paced action, good music, choice progression and a Rouge-like RNG system that keeps the replay value high. And more to come, of course, looking forward to that :)

Love this game. Does a great job of easing you into a chaotic bullet hell. The music makes it feel that much more intense which puts a unique and needed flare to the genre. Challenging, but rewarding!

At first I thought “hmm, this is pretty easy!” - no, it gets harder. Sound track is on point, too!

Grav Blazer Squared
Bought it for $0.10.
What kind of game would you expect which costs less than a tesco white roll?
And still… it gave me ten funny arcadish minutes.
Definitely happy bunny!

Bought it for about ten cents with one of those steam coupons. I didn’t expect much, well it costs as much as a bubble gum. And it gave me about as much fun as a bubble gum.
You have a space ship, flying around and killing other space ships. Half of the features implemented don’t work, and it feels rather bad to steer. It’s the kind of game you do when learning a programming language, and as it was made with unity, it took the creator probably 10 minutes to create. It is definitely not worth the 99 cents, but for 10… Hey, it’s ten minutes of fun.

Space War: Infinity
the first couple of hours, the game can be fun, but after some hours, you have no chance, to dodge the bullets or enemies. if i have a special weapon, no enemie shows up, if i dont have any special weapon, all enemies and bullets come up at ones. so after all, i dont like the game that much like other games of that type. and flying is too slow, from one side of the map to shoot the enemies to the other takes too long. nothing against a challanging game, but if it gets too unfair, you lose the fun very fast. its simply not good enough balanced to play on for longer.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very good game. The developer responds immediately to questions and suggestions. he provides more support for $1 than most developers that charger over $30!!!
The best value for the money, very easy to get into, long lasting challenge, great time waster, blast lots of aliens!
There are no negatives because the developer will fix them for you!
