InkSplosion

InkSplosion. Id est, one of those games that always get me upset at looking at their store page.. Ok, it's good. Looks good. It's translated. I think I'm getting really annoying by saying that I wanted so bad to translate for free something and I got rejected and such. But I don't care, I've already got two jobs that are quite time-grasping. I just wanted to give more visibility to a younger public for what concerns mainly indie games. Then, I often come across indie games with zero reviews like this one (as of the end of 2018, I can't even find a Chinese review here even if it's been around for more than 8 months), and they've been translated. In my native tongue, which is one of the most beautiful tongues in the whole Europe due to our history - we're like 10 countries fused into a golem without any kind of link to tie them together, apart from the cultural one. And I see Italian translations that are clearly made with Google Translate, since not only they employ totally wrong words but they also use words that clearly can't be used in that context. Apart from all these errors, InkSplosion's main feature is, literally, a "single game". Not a single-player game, the Italian version says that is a "single game". I hold two degrees as they say summa ♥♥♥ laude in those useless subjects and well, ok, maybe that's why I'm mad at these things xD InkSplosion is obviously a single-player game. It's made with Unity and the configuration screen actually is quite useless since it offers you only one option for the windowed mode, which luckily fits my screen. The game opens up with an arcade music (and retro graphics) and some modes, classic mode, arena and hard mode. A weird tutorial opened with the X key (why?) explains you that you'll be able to shoot with the left mouse button, slow down the time with the right one, move with WASD keys and aim with the mouse. That's all. The voiceovers are quite annoying - there's a standard male voice like in the arcade games, do you remember Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat? - which say thinks like game over, game start and stuff like that every time. The tutorial given though is just that page on the commands - no information about the actual game. You'll easily figure out by yourself that you'll control a small spaceship that fires by holding the left mouse button (auto-fire? no? upgrades? anything?).. but you'll be left in chaos. Sometimes you'll fire a single bullet, other times you'll fire more. The screen can't be changed or moved, so you'll get most likely often in the middle of enemy fire in the very first seconds of the game. Killing all the enemies in a level will bring you to the next one, with a new random weapon. The whole game is A HUGE MESS. Let me elaborate. You are a black and white spaceship, the enemies are bigger black and white spaceships, the shots and their trajectories will be black and white rectangles. This makes lots of confusion in a small screen. Plus, the only good thing in this - the explosions of color when you're hit or viceversa - add nothing to the experience, since everything will keep on going in black and white. Plus, there are only 5 weapons in the whole game and there are no upgrades. You are given a random weapon at the beginning of the level, and you're screwed if the voice shouts "normal gun" - that means instant death. If you get "shotgun", it's instant kill of every enemy in your way. That's everything but fair, and lowers a lot the replay value since if you die (and by the way, no health points are actually present so it's kinda random.. you get hit 3-4 times and you die: there's a health bar on the upper part of the screen, but you're never told why and how it depletes, you just can endure 3-4 bullets) you are forced to always start from the beginning. And as I said, this game can look very colorful but in reality it's literally shooting black and white things back and forth. Don't trust all the store page screenshots, taken by the developers later in the game and when the levels are over and filled with ink.. I'll let you imagine how easy it is to play the whole thing on hard.. All in all, there are few ideas here and they are all badly realized. The colorful explosions are a nice thing, but if the enemies and even yourself are just black and white lines and pixels, everything gets annoying. If you can't re-start the 5° level but you're always forced to start from the 1°, it's even worse. If there are unbalanced weapons and you can't even auto-fire, if the laser or gun weapons suck while the shotgun kills everyone, it's also worse. Mix everything up with a total lack of upgrades, and just some bits of health bar healed between one wave and the other one, and you'll get a very very very crappy arcade casual shooter. This sounds even weird, since if there have been guys who tested this game and that have played lots of arcade games before, how could they have given a positive feedback? It's literally playing over and over the same level with just some minor changes (some barriers/moving obstacles in the same screen) and a random weapon, no upgrade system at all, no shields, anything.. It gets annoying and frustrating, there's no save apart from the game statistics.. Even if you like arcade shooter games I'd definitely not recommend this one to anyone. It's really badly realized. It's frustrating, a lot, to the point that after 15 minutes of restarting and getting back to level 1 you'll rage-quit rather than seeing those black and white spaceships over again. And it costs.. 5€/$? Come on.. definitely to skip.

a short action game for in between. can recommend it. 3 mode to play arcade, arena and hard mode. the music to the game is alright. the price of this game is in offer -70% alright. all achievements work.

一款用来消耗时间的小游戏 三种模式的基本玩法都一样，每波你都会从普通子弹、远程子弹、火箭弹、激光灯、霰弹中随机到一把武器 并且场景里随机刷新出4个怪物（同样是从8种样子的怪物中选出，但攻击模式其实也就3、4种而已，比如直线、不规则曲线外加少量跟踪效果） 被怪物攻击到后会掉血，血条在屏幕上方显示，唯一回血的方法是击杀怪物，每次大概回10% 四个怪物杀完后进入下一波，换把武器+再刷4个怪物 经典和困难模式场景里会额外多一些线条形障碍物，会移动，并且碰到后会掉血 甚至有些关卡会被移动的线条逐渐包围，需要快速解决战斗 困难模式感觉就是被击中掉血更多而已，并没有更丰富的玩法 游戏内容太单调，说实话不值这个钱，大概也就是个中评的1、2刀小游戏

弹射起步 非常的劲爆和..困难 色彩很炫酷 老夫玩了半个小时 感觉体力和精力双不支 算是可玩喜+1..

[h1]InkSplosion[/h1] Gameplay bem manera, traz um certo desafio embora não seja mt difícil e também é um jogo curto, mas acho que valeu a pena jogar principalmente pelas conquistas.

以前セールで安くなってたので、なんとなく購入 普通の全方位STGって感じの説明でいいのかな？ 敵を倒すと次のステージが始まって、自分の武器とステージの壁の位置がかわる（白い点線みたいなの） 画面上部にあるバーみたいなのが体力？右クリックでその体力を使用して敵や弾がスローになる 敵を倒すとスコアと体力回復？ インクで色が塗られてるのは特に意味はないっぽい（最初よくわからず、スプラみたいなゲームなのかと思った） wasdで上下左右に移動・右クリックでスロー・左クリック押しっぱなしで射撃 カーソルの位置を見失うと、インクで画面がうるさすぎて混乱して死ぬ 少なくとも俺は死んだけど、うまい人なら復帰も余裕！ やってると地味にうまくなってる感はするのが不思議 一応他のモードもあるけど、メインのモードで10万点以上行かないと選べない セールで安くなってたら暇つぶしにいいのかなーと 動画見た感じ瞬間的にクソゲーと思ったらやめとこう

No controller support on a game like this, 0/5

我觉得做小游戏都应该向这款游戏看齐，一目了然的玩法，简单的操作，轻松的体验，把游戏核心玩法体现出来后成就又不难攻克，时间消耗不长，画面清新又炸裂是一大加分点。总有些游戏设计的变态成就，硬拖时间，无意义堆叠关卡，丑陋至极

The enemies, your "character" and all the projectiles have the same, color. If you destroy an enemy they explode in a colorful burst like it shows on the screenshots. If you beat the 4 enemys the game spawns, in 4 more spawn and you get a different weapon, there are like 5 different ones. That's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it, that's the game. Like yeah, there is normal, arena and hard, but it's the same ♥♥♥♥ in all 3 of them. I got it in a bundle somewhere so yeah whatever, but I would certainly not spend money on this, when I can go play a browser game for free, which I might actually enjoy. Only upside I can see, are the rather easy achievements, which was more or less the only reason I put up with this game for like 15 minutes.
