ASTRO AQUA KITTY

Любимая игра с шикарной музыкой и геймплеем. ждем продолжение.

Dull way to play+High quality+rich content=AAK Price is too high, buy this on a discount.

Very simple little shooter. It's quite short and sweet. The music is awesome, tho. Only couple of the weapons felt usable. The laser used way too much energy, also some other higher damage weapons were not balanced well. I used only the shotgun and basic plasma throughout the game and they were okay. I played this on regular and there is no achievement for the higher difficulties so I'm not gonna attempt this again. Recommended on sale only, this is kinda way too simple and short to get bang for your buck.

Очень хорошая игра, но имеющая огромный минус если вы будете играть на клавиатуре: клавиши управления нельзя переназначить. Достоинства: * Отличный визуальный стиль сделанный с любовью; * На старте можно выбрать Пилота и Инженера со своими пятью способностями (супер оружие защита и т.п.), но использовать можно только любые четыре; * Отличные уровни; * Хорошая музыка и звуки. Недостатки: * Как уже отмечалось: нельзя переназначить клавиши управления; * "Аркадынй" режим игры, добавленный позднее, довольно сложен, непродуман, хотя потенциал есть; * При выборе Пилота и Инженера их активные способности не совсем понятны, особенно оружие, система разблокирования и выбора не сразу понятна. Совет: после того как способности Пилота или Инженера разблокированы их еще нужно выбрать!

The game starts off great but the last third the difficulty creep is too much, it's not that it's impossible only unenjoyable and grindy. The inventory level system is meh, I finished the game without ever seeing the weapons I wanted at max level. If I had to play it again I would try easy mode.

Good Metroidvania-esque exploration game, but in a sidescrolling shmup format, featuring cats in submarines. Nice music, polished graphics, and solid gameplay - but having played similar games that feature twinstick controls (such as [i]Cryptark[/i]), it does feel a little outdated.

A nice shooter / action rpg. From the same makers as Aqua Kitty, this game is set in the same universe. If you've played Aqua Kitty, you'll probably recognize a few of the enemies. Art style is old-school, but not pixelated. You'll progress through a linear story line, battling enemies and finding upgrades for your ship. These upgrades are somewhat random although it's scaled to the progress in the story so you'll always find suitable gear to beat the map. While Aqua Kitty was a very difficult game, even on Easy, this one is way more approachable. There's lots of save points which also restore your health and energy at free and can be used indefinitely. Regular difficulty was a little bit on the easy side. For a bit of a challenge, I suggest starting in Experienced. Optionally you can choose to go for Permadeath if you'd like. And if you're not interested in the story, there's also an arcade mode for some mindless shooting and rescuing stranded kitties. I liked it and probably do another run on a higher difficulty at some point in time.

Fun, but short schmup! Some nice level designs, decent boss fights and retro-ish graphics, but not enough variety in your ships weapons/addons systems to really engage any replay value. Still, a fun little shooter to while away a few hours.

I feel really split about my thumb down here because, on one hand, it’s a well-executed game without a bug that has great visuals, good soundtracks, and some fun gamplay elements. However, while the gameplay is fun at the beginning, it gets old relatively quickly. And the main reason for this is because the substantial upgrade to your abilities kinda stoped after 1-2 (stage) levels. Also, at first, I was under the impression that you can swap out the pilot and engineer through the game, but that appears not to be the case, which limits the variety of gameplay you can experience through a gameplay quite significantly. As you progress through the different levels, the enemies keep getting stronger and more difficult, but you don’t acquire any new abilities to cope with them. You can buy or collect higher level weapons, but they only help you keep up with enemies that also have higher stats. The puzzle-solving part of the game also wasn’t set up progressively. There wasn’t any puzzle at all at the beginning, but suddenly at some later levels, they spring random puzzles at us. They just feel out of place and end up just being annoying and not that fun. It's crazy for me that the game lasts only 8 hours and yet it feels too long. Maybe, it would be better if I thought of it more like an old arcade game with a more linear progression. You can buy this game relatively cheap on sales though, so it's not like a major disappointment for me.
