Can't recommend. Runs in slow motion most of the time, especially at level start. Thats at lowest settings. Admittedly my laptop is not the fastest but it can run "Crimzon Clover" without any troubles, also "Saviors" which also has been made with unity, i believe. Both games are shmups with much better graphics than this.Also that christmas theme... ...dont force stuff like that on your players.. Can't recommend.

This is an Early Access Review so you should take what I say here with a large grain of salt.The number 1 thing you will notice about this game is, upon booting, it will ask you to define your joystick keys. Maybe I should have taken this as a hint that the controls were going to be difficult without one although I'm not sure what they are thinking with the control scheme anyways. Moving forward takes ages and feels like you're trying to wade waist-deep in mud. It takes a full 5 seconds for the ship to reach the top of the screen. Also if you let go of forward, you fly at mach 2 to the bottom of the screen which makes moving around in a bullet-hell shooter a complete nightmare. There is a "Hover" button, but you have to hold it down and if you're firing, each bullet sends you backwards a little bit. Maybe in the beginning default control scheme I should have picked something there. But the problem is that I didn't want to scroll through and understand and research 30 undefined joystick buttons. Also, as far as I could tell, there is no way to close the game or exit other than Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Clearly there's some much needed work on the controls.Gameplay seems alright, there doesn't seem to be much of a curve, it feels like they started me at what would be considered level 100 of Nomltest. There is a "Boss Rap" which I thought was hilarious (Lyrically and because it comes out of NOWHERE). But then there's another rap during the credits and I got the creeping feeling that maybe they weren't being ironic.There's also weapons, and these wierd "pools" that seem to imply they are power ups. But they didn't work. You can hold a button and they go away, but otherwise don't appear to have an affect on gameplay.Weapons are sparse, when you get one, it is fun to use. I like that I'm able to see inside the ship when the spread gun is picked up. Oddly enough the ship can do a spin around and fire, which is incredibly useful, but it only does that when you get hit and you have a GIGANTIC health bar. Maybe they want you to get hit a bunch and make it less about dodging and more about mitigating your damage.I'm going to keep checking out this game as it develops further because I have a soft spot for the genre and I think this could turn out pretty good. If it does, awesome! I can always update my review.. Real fun game. Acid Jazz is a really underapreciated genre that doesn't get a lot of exposure outside of very underground Chinese image boards such as \/mu\/. I thinking a light to strong 8. Galaga.......forever.. Great game if you're a fan of bullet hell games this is for you and it's super cheap. The Title was enough to win me over, I loved Galaga as a kid and still do, plus Gilligan's Island is just some fun campy nostalgiaThe gameplay is fantastic and actually has a fairly unique flight mechanic; unusual to see innovation in the genre but always welcomeThe Music is good overall and the boss music is FANTASTICVisually the game takes sprites that would be low quality on their own and makes them look fantasticBe Warned: One life, no continues, this game is hard2\/10, no Gilligan's island (yet..?)Keep up the good work!.

A promising, casual, shoot 'em up game in the style of Space Invaders, or, more recently, Galaga.Maybe not as intense as Galaga can get on an arcade machine, but when you get down to your last few lives you'll realize you've been transported into a bullet-hell game which takes some effort to stay alive.It took me over 20 minutes to get to level 11, which shows a good level of content offered for the beginning of Early Access. I could see this game eventually getting 100, or even infinite, levels, but I'd challenge people to get past the ones that are currently available!. bullet hell-esk galaga with really good music, and enemy formations with minigame(I only made it to the first checkpoint\/boss) its really good time killer for 5$ and with content to soon be added.pros: gameplay +co-op *duh* enemy detail and fx gameplay feel music <3con: controls are kinda crowed (not too much and isue but its sometimes in the way)I really recomend this game, has high potental to become greater.Now to wait for next update o.o
