лучший шутинап в своем жанре, пол жизни отыграл на свитче у кореша, занес бабки в стиме
"that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bird that i hate" the game
正因如此……不留遗憾地继续下去,直至尽头 没有出生,就不会死去,理想事物,没能满足,就绝不屈服 这样即使是死去,也不会后悔…… 我可以理解的……我们,应该能够见到自由了吧?

超经典,不说了,推荐
Very well designed. Very difficult.
So far my Favourite shoot'em up. It's a bit oldschool, just push though level/campaign. Not many levels to choose from. But the levels are really well designed, it feels fluid and the polarity mechanic is really fun. One pity is the lack of a reset button. But otherwise solid game!
