Legend of the Moon 2

Another mobile game port from GozipGame. It's a straightforward mobile-style shmup (tiny levels, permanent upgrades) with a strange, unexplained, uncontextualized game mechanic: the game plays in slow-mo by default and normal speed while holding the A-button. There's surprising enemy variation and a few stage gimmicks, too! We got guys on train tracks... Guys that visibly track you with their guns... A stage where hazards rise toward the camera as your ship descends underground...! Like its predecessor, the story is oddly ambitious and grim, including emotional mid-stage set-pieces. Disappointed by the lack of control options—I would have loved to use mouse controls since the mobile game uses touch. But I imagine most people will be fine with KBM or controller. It's not gonna blow your mind or anything. The execution is amateurish. But there's heart! There's a curiosity and foreknowledge about shmups that many mobile games lack! There are hilarious typos! Definitely work 2 bucks.

Way better than the price would suggest. Has nice patterns, customization options and an upgrade system, plus loads of levels and nice graphics. Very solid shmup experience, that is quite beginner friendly.
