Gravity Ace
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.

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.

Too Many Zombies!
It’s actually quite a lot of fun, even solo. Mix in the ability to add up to three friends on Steam through Steam Remote Play and they don’t even need to buy this game via Remote Play.. and this game seems like a decent value.
It’s got a tutorial, and two modes, survival and campaign.

The controls are good, the campaign stays interesting with new different objects to complete besides just blasting zombies. The crafting and resource collecting add fun and value as well.

Devileader
A fun, frantic and sometimes frustrating spiritual successor to Sinistar, Devileader delivers that classic arcade fun in spades. I never really got into the ‘original’ a whole lot, but this game has a few more interesting elements that give the game a good depth and the difficulty setting is a nice addition that keeps things approachable and adaptable, especially for people like me who are not already experts at this game format. I would definitely recommend giving this game a try if you’re at all a fan of the original arcade shooters or fast-paced arcade action in general.

Hijong Park delivers again. This time with Devileader (Sinistar on crack).
So yes, Sinistar… but this time re-imagined with 4 difficulty levels, much larger enemy variety, interesting weapon variety, and online scoreboards. First off before gameplay begins you are given a choice of one of a handful of superweapons to equip on your ship. These are very powerful and will be used sparingly as they require mining crystals to recharge. They are great for getting you out of tough spots or clearing out a path to hit the devileader with devibombs. Careful though as some will also completely wipe out asteroids and mined cystals which have yet to be collected. Next, your primary laser has a secondary rapid fire mode that clears enemies at a much faster rate. On the flip side it heats up quickly requiring a cooldown time after prolonged use. These two core weapon changes alone already make the frantic gameplay in Devileader much more interesting than in the original arcade classic. Now lets add in a larger ever growing enemy and hazard variety as you progress further into the game and you are looking at a truly great arcade experience. Last but not least, there is a lone drop ship that enters the play area every so often to drop either more powerful ammo limited weapons or time limited items such as shields or cloaks. Be sure to check your map periodically for the drop ship as it can be easy to miss the computerized voice alerting you to its presence in the heat of action.

GUNPIG: Firepower For Hire
Gunpig is a colorful and enjoyable little score attack twinstick shooter, starring an adorable cartoony pig character, that has only one thing on his mind: shoot aliens and rack up as much cash as possible!
The game is divided into several levels, where you have to find the main baddy and take it out, although there are some other objectives sometimes, like shooting barrels under a time limit. While flying through the levels, you might also find cleverly hidden secrets, and special cards that unlock character graphics and concept artworks in the main menu. You can change your weapon by collecting fruits from special dispensers - there are a total of 9 different fruits/weapons, each one also having an alternative fire mode, ranging from spreads to mines.

This is a very short and very easy top-down twin-stick shooter that seems to be inspired mostly by the 1988 arcade game Gauntlet. It’s only $5 but I don’t think most players will get that much enjoyment out of it (I got it for much cheaper in a bundle).
There appear to be several bugs: None of the Steam achievements unlocked for me even after finishing the game. The store page also lists Steam Leaderboards as a feature, but I couldn’t find any way to view them either in-game or in the community hub. The volume slider for the music (which sounds pretty good overall) resets to zero after each stage. And even though the game uses the left gamepad stick for movement, there is no analog speed control. Meaning that even gently tapping the stick in any direction gives you full acceleration, so I spent a lot of time careening across the stages when all I wanted was to make small adjustments.

Vectorium
While Vectorium is a quality arena shooter, it all feels a bit too standard. It checks all the right boxes, except the ‘innovation’ one. I would also say that if you plan on playing with a keyboard and mouse, it feels more like an excercise in memorizing the order of buttons to press. Something more akin to DDR or something. It’s hard to explain.
Pros:
+The crisp artwork and interface is nice
+The price is fair
Cons:
-There is nothing new here; this has all been done before

A Quiver of Crows
@C.:
_Les mouches bourdonnaient sur ce ventre putride,
D’où sortaient de noirs bataillons
De larves, qui coulaient comme un épais liquide
Le long de ces vivants haillons.
Tout cela descendait, montait comme une vague,
Ou s’élançait en pétillant ;
On eût dit que le corps, enflé d’un souffle vague,
Vivait en se multipliant._
A Quiver of Crows game. You, as a flying being, ‘a crow’, shooting with some lasers into some relentless ever-respawning undeads of various sorts.

This game needs some reviews, so I want to do a 2-hour first impression. The art in this game is astoundingly well developed. It wordlessly creates a lot of ambience as you fly your way through abandoned playgrounds and discarded remnants of civilization as a new dawn approaches a terrible day…
You play a freaking bird with laser weapons. If you’re still reading this, you want this game. It’s hard. Quite hard, but it can be enjoyed in bursts of 10 minutes or a whole rage inducing hour. The controls are extremely tight, and the weapons and enemies are all interesting. My favorite are the basic enemies, which I call the “Dental Association” as they chomp me to bits.
