Generic Space Shooter

Generic Space Shooter can only be described a classic arcade shooter, its clearly influenced by Meteor and other games of that era. All I need now is trackball, a pint of mild and upright cabinet to complete the picture. Plus, top marks to the developer for fixing the initial Linux issues.

For three bucks, Generic Space Shooter is exactly what you pay for. It's a simple twin-stick wave clearing shooter where grabbing power-up isn't just a bonus, but how to survive. Unlike other twin-stick shooters, you have an ammo count and powerups temporarily disable the count from going down. Not a bad twist on an asteroid clone. If you like arcade shooters like asteroids, sinistar, geometry wars and the like, you'll get some entertainment out of the Generic Space Shooter. It's a good game to have on your laptop to kill some time during lunch and break.

Honestly this game isn't bad. but I also can't recommend buying it. As the name suggests, it's just a generic space shooter. With that being said, I didn't really see much of a goal to the game (other than surviving), and with the limited powerups in the game, I had already experienced everything this game had to offer within the first five minutes of playing. If you are just looking for something to kill your three dollars on, go for it, but for me, it just didn't feel like it was worth what I paid.

Awsome game!

The controls are not good. The boost/gas button is next to the shoot button on the mouse. This makes it hard to control the ship in hard situations. There is no way to change the controls from what I have seen. Also the escape button only pauses the app an it doesn't let me exit the app. I had to use command + control + escape to exit the app.
