A fun shootemup game that has a lot of challenge to it and some puzzle elements too. A little tricky with a keyboard and I am sure even better with a controller.

A fun side-scrolling shooter that is heavily inspired from the era in its title 1993. It has lovely pixel art and some quality of life features that make it much less frustrating than original games of that time: you have unlimited lives and the times you die only reflects itself in the score. You can buy weapons and swap them out with others without having to sell them. There is a fixed amount of credits to be earned in each level and you don't have to go back to grind or harvest - in fact you can't. I played it on the medium difficulty level and finished it in a good 2h.

Surprisingly good retro styled side scrolling shoot'em up. Has a Bitmap brothers vibe and plays well. A recommend if on sale as the game is short and replay value could be better. High score tables/ leaderboards would be a welcome addition.

Dec. 2023

Not worth it even on sale I'm going to give this a thumbs up but only 90% off. It's not challenging at all, it has the classic "insane number of weapons" designs you get in amateur games. But you can only harvest enough resource to buy some, so you just hoard for the 2 good ones. Then you sit there with the A button held and maybe you dodge once. But you don't need to try because your lightning attack hit-scans everything to death immediately. Then of course, you get to the end end end boss after beating the campaign, and you find out some of the weapons you bought and upgraded can't actually hit the boss. There is no way in H- E- DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS i'm going to grind this insanely dull game just so I can get whatever one is needed. No way. This game is boring AF
