This sure is an annoying game. You start off, you think it's going to get fun. But it's repetitive and annoying and no early progression and you start back from scratch every time. It's sad, the framework for fun is here. The dev(s) put in all the work and I'd sure enjoy a less frustrating version of this game. But Less Frustrating clearly wasn't the vision, so they turned the dial to More and stuck it there. It's an annoying slog that drops a random chainsaw on your head every time you hit your stride. Go back and do it again. Kind of fun the first few runs. Would not recommend.
I would say buy it. Upside: No BS, no microtrasactions or paywall. One of the best art work you can get. Game have slight retro touch. Fun to play over and over again. Good controls, Good graphics You can feel passion of this developer to this game. Not expensive, special on sale Good for quick game if you just need some fun in your life. Downside: It could take update (maps weapons,...) Can be hard and it does not hold your hand. Support this developers i hope ill see more game like this in future. This is real gaming not just make map online and no content.

Oh man this game is hard AF but sooo satisfying when you actually start getting somewhere. Its a shame its not maintained on Steam but if you can find a copy or one day it comes back up super highly recommended
Купил из-за кучи положительных отзывов вида "Death Skid Marks в космическом антураже, в котором убрали недостатки и развили позитивные стороны оригинальной игры." (взял описание первого попавшегося для примера, к таким отзывам претензий нет). Death Skid Marks я люблю, хоть пройти его ни разу и не получилось. В итоге произошло капитальное наебалово. Ниже будет список того из-за чего я сгорел: - Игра позиционирует себя как рогалик, но вариативности прокачики своего корабля в ней ноль. - Апгрейды/пушки в магазинах строго залоченны под локацию: несколько раз столкнулся с тем что прилетаю в магазин с количеством денег, которых хватает на 2-3 т2 апгрейда корабля в доках, но их там нет! А это из-за того, что я ещё не дошёл до певого босса и фармил лёгкую локацию. Из-за этой механики большую часть времени ты ощущаешь, что ты недокачен. - Боссы одинаковые и абсолютно душные, так как из-за неповоротливости корабля ты хочешь наносить урон вместо блока щитом. И против первых двух эта тактика эффективнее, чем использовать щит. - Если вы попадаете на локацию в которой есть какой-то прекол вида: космо-коровы, червоточины или след кометы то в большинстве случаев вы либо будете получать урон, так как не можете управлять кораблём, либо из-за того что на экране 50% локации занято чем-то что вас дамажит и вы не можете доджить. (На удивление только локации с полицейскими ощущаются "честными") - Получение денег через затягивание щитом кусков мёртвых врагов звучит классно на бумаге, но в 90% случаев вы теряете огромную часть добычи, если враг умер не перед вами. - Система прокачки экипажа полностью убивается тем, что при получении урона они теряют часть прокачки. - Третий босс недоджибельное говно из-за которого я сгорел жопой и пишу этот отзыв. Если хотите поиграть в это, то лучше поиграйте в Death Skid Marks - игра лучше во всех аспектах лучше, рофельнее и честнее.
I really wanted to like this one, but there are too many strikes against it, not least of which it simply isn't fun.Imagine if you will, a space ship shooter, where all of your guns have huge blind spots, and enemy ships can simply come at you from a blind spot, and bash into you repeatedly. Easy for them to do as you fill a good quarter of the screen, making maneuvering feel less like space, and more like Austin Powers making a three-point turn in a tight corridor. Tack in the standard concept where killed ships drop useful items, but the way the game is designed, you can't get 90% of them. Imagine no more, this is that game. Tack on to those wonderful design decisions a near total lack of explanation about how the game works. Sure it's interesting to look at, but it is punishingly difficult to play. Collecting cash is a nightmare, far too often IF I survive to a shop of some kind, I can't buy anything, or hire a crew member. Three thumbs down, avoid at all costs. Even free would be too much.
Why not? Why would anyone not?
It looks fine until the front and rear guns decide not to shoot anymore, and of course u die... Cancer.
Simple, Fun, Crazy, whatelse ? Really nice game with awesome pixel art and OST !
Really glad that I've got the game when had the opportunity to do so. Hope stuff goes well for Dr.Sauce and we get some more of the good stuff in the future.
great fun, i definitely recommend and well worth the money
