Laser Ball

Played offline for longer than 0.2 hours (about 1 hour, 20 minutes altogether). I'm familiar with nearly all of ZaxtorGames titles at this point. They all use amateurish graphics and sound effects, which provides a unique appearance to the games but also suffer a bit in graphical quality compared to other 2D titles on Steam. At least he made his own stuff, and it does create a certain feel to the game that seems fitting coming from this creator / developer. The core game is fairly simple: shoot a colored ball, keep your generator repaired, deposit balls after shot, and avoid obstacles. All of this is within a time limit. It's simple with the replay value coming in beating your own and others high scores. The controls are the biggest issue. Unless I missed it, remapping keys doesn't seem to be an option, but the default keybinds are acceptable (to me, at least). The controls themselves seem too slippery. It wasn't uncommon for me to run into something trying to do a precise movement. It could be a side effect of getting older, though.. maybe my reflexes just aren't good any more. $2.99 is a fair price for this game. The core game is acceptable, the controls are workable, and it has some solo project / low budget charm to it. For $2.99, there's quite a few better games on Steam, including some within the ZaxtorGames catalog. If this developer wasn't an acquaintance, I'd flip a coin on the recommend question. He does appear to keep this game up to date, so I'll err on the side of a thumbs up.

It took a little while to understand the gameplay, but now I'd say this is probably my favorite arcade game (I grew up on the Atari 2600). I'm only able to reach level 11 or 12 -- so I'm not great at it -- but it's still a lot of fun!

Muito ruim. Recomendo!
