I got Super Bit Blaster XL for free by owning the original, but both games are more than worth their asking price. This is not the most complicated game, but it is a fun little score chaser, and I think the price is quite fair for what the game is. I've played more than 5 hours and I'm pretty sure it regularly goes on sale for under a dollar.

My PC caught fire. Power Supply basically exploded. No more Cyberpunk for me. So I'm gonna play this game now on my toaster-level notebook all day. Glad it exists.

Better than the previous work, you can automatically adsorb bullets, sometimes picking up the bomb a clear screen can get a bunch of points, but the center of the rotating turret is really difficult to beat, auto-fire is still more consuming bullets, manual may get the higher upper limit. 比起前作好多了,可以自动吸附子弹,时不时捡到炸弹一清空屏幕就是一堆分,不过之后中间旋转的炮台是真的难搞,自动开火还是比较耗子弹,手动没准上限更高

Just look at that price--my heavens! (It was on sale, too! I feel like I ripped off the developer!) It's a simple arcade game but its implemented with great passion and a lot of care. These games aren't usually my "type;" I was drawn in largely by the low price and the flashy colors, I'll admit. Regardless, I think it's the best such game you'll find on this store. (Having sampled some of the rest of this developer's catalog, it is certainly leagues above the rest in terms of polish, presumably because this is made for the computer rather than ported from a mobile game.) Took me 7 hours to get all the achievements and I still suck at it. Some of the spaceships you unlock later are just direct all-stats upgrades to others and the last simply has the highest value in all the stats, which I'm a little torn on. The tangible progression is nice, but I'd've liked more reason to use the vaguely amogus-shaped one after I unlocked the one after it, or the Hammerhead Shark one. The powerups don't feel overly powerful, which is probably for the best, but Homing is just straight up brokenly powerful, especially with autofire off. Every game I got above 20-ish k, I did because I had Homing (and didn't accidentally replace it). On the flip-side, some (Magnet w/o autofire; Bounce and Shield regardless) are just all but straight downgrades. Each spaceship has two separate highscore leaderboards attached to it (autofire on/off) and this makes for an interesting side-effect: If you unlock the last spaceship and turn autofire off and get a really high score, you're way up the ladder compared to everyone else. Get that same score on the objectively worse starter spaceship and with autofire on, and you're way way down that same leaderboard. All in all, it's a hundred times the fun and charm of a AAA at a hundredth the price. Not pushing you to buy it, but scratching my head about you buying anything else and not this.
