EXE: Mainframe

A well-balanced, polished twin-stick shooter. It's the same waves over and over, but it's fun to pick up and play for a quick game. There's some steam achievement challenges to make replays interesting. The price never seems to go on sale, but I think it's worth the two dollar price. Going to try it on the Steam Deck, soon, as it works great on my desktop linux system with keyboard and mouse controls. I was not able to get full functionality on a gamepad controller.

Solid twin-stick bullet hell game with beautiful graphics and tons of style

This game is an excellent wave based bullet hell game with smooth mechanics, and all around enjoyable game-play. Very fun time killer.

Just picked this up for $6! I'm a big fan of bullet hell games and this scratches that itch. The music is on point and the art direction is great. For $6 you can't beat it!

Fun, twin stick, arcade, action, shooter. Great retro style that feels thought out and polished. If it weren't for the leader board I think I'd get tired of it. As of now I'm almost top 10. Would love to see this same game co-op. Good ramp in difficulty, takes a little time to learn all the pitfalls and enemy types. Still unsure on some of the finer points on scoring, like "style" and what constitutes a combo. Reminded me of old school arcade shooters that I might have played during sleepovers. Great music. Recommended for great price and level of polish.

Solid little dual joystick shooter that commits to its style and has a good soundtrack.

Really tightly designed. Love the TRON influenced graphics (and the "Bit"-esque entity that appears on loading screens), but there are a lot of little subtle flourishes about the visuals that I really enjoyed. The way the game board warps around your shots, how the floor lights up in a trail as you go, or how the levels sprout out from the same common grid. I also like the way environments can get smashed into shards and become a factor in the melee. The active dodge combined with generous usage of a remote detonated bomb adds a unique touch to the twin-stick formula. Really enjoyed what I played so far. Great soundtrack too.
