Bezier

If you like Twinstick Shooters with a great soundtrack, on beat visuals and endless gameplay possibilities give Bezier a try. On normal the game might be a little too easy but if you turn up the difficulty it really becomes hard as hell. The campaign took me 70 minutes to complete and the game has so much more on offer. It truly is an underrated gem. 10/10 compared to other games in its genre.

high paste game

despite not having a volume control, is quite good

just go play agar.io

Bezier is an interesting little game that turned out to be more than I expected. I went into it thinking it would be a Geometry Wars-clone or something along those lines. Arcade game all about racking up a high score with a few different modes and leaderboards. Bezier does have that but it is also unique in a few major ways. The gameplay loop isn't like any game I've played before. Each level puts you in a wide open area with enemies and asteroids to shoot. During the level, Shields will spawn which work as the main targets. You have to destroy the shields before time runs out in the level in order to progress. Each level's shields operate differently however so the same strategy won't work for every level. Some shields have some spinning blocks around them which deflect shots unless you shoot around them, some shields have protectors that must be destroyed in a certain order. Determining how each level's shields are destroyed is half the fun of the game and it gives a lot of motivation to continue. Bezier also has a story to it's main mode and while it isn't anything ground-breaking, it is pretty neat to get little bits of story as you progress through this otherwise arcade-style action game. Finally, Bezier has a level-up system that follows you through any of the game's modes. Each level allows you to put points into certain abilities such as increased damage or speed. It's simple but it's fun and makes you feel like each run on the game's endurance mode is helping you improve. Bezier is a simple game and doesn't take long to beat. My 1.3 hours was enough to complete the main game. If you like arcade style games you can jump into a play a few rounds every once in a while, Bezier is a fun one. If you just play things for the story, this may be a little light for you.

A game from 2016 with NO volume controls besides on/off? The gamepad rumbles even if playing with mouse and keyboard (which probably explains why there are only instructions for gamepad controls), but there's at least a toggle for that. Uninspired shooty action that doesn't keep interest in any way.

Is this what it would be like playing oddly cryptic Spectrum games where the other side of the tape is an excellent soundtrack, but in the modern world? I think so, and for that alone I have to give it a positive review. It starts off dense and confusing, and ends up being frantic and still a little confusing, but then you want to play again anyway.
