Mobile Astro

Mobile Astro is just another game in my backlog that I never expected to see it there. Apparently, I had gotten the DLC for free at some point in time. So I decided to play it and... I really did not have a fun time with it. - The game's biggest problem is that IT'S UTTERLY BORING. Levels are far too long with nothing interesting happening in them, and the enemy patterns just get repeated again and again and again, even up to 8 times in one level. The most notable one being a group of three laser wall barriers in a row that appear on every single level after its introduction. - The game constantly hides the number of your remaining bombs and extra lives. They are visible for a couple seconds, and then they suddenly vanish. A strange design decision to not let the player know what they have when they want to. - The play area is horizontally way too small for the player to react in time, making it not suitable for a twin-stick shooter where enemies come from all sides. This is especially noticeable with fast enemies that suddenly appear from off screen. - The bombs are such a letdown. They only work in a certain radius, can clear enemy projectiles and yet are unable to kill some of the basic enemies that get spammed over and over again. Sometimes you need two bombs to get rid of a basic enemy. - The graphics look fine, but the designs look bland and sometimes even don't make much sense. All of the levels with even numbers have the same background with some color differences; understandable from a story progression perspective, yet very repetitive. Your ship walks around, some enemies walk around, yet all of the other enemies fly. Enemies look like tanks, small drones, strange walking bots, mini versions of the main character, squids... there's no harmony in their designs. Overall, while Mobile Astro is free, I believe it is still way too bland and boring to be worth anyone's time. I highly advise skipping it. And as I know this was the devs' first project, I wish them the best in their future projects.

想当年，能玩一天

I don't remember playing this one

重回小时候的感觉。不过有点难度吧

This is a great little shoot em up game. i like the simple art style and fluid controls. little hard in some sections. but pick this up and give it a try. 5/5

This game is awesome! I used my controller for better game than keyboard.
