Space Moth DX

TL;DR Only buy this game if it comes bundled with anything else or just stick with Star Hunter DX and Space Moth Lunar Edition instead. Space Moth DX is the first commercially available game by the developers at 1CC Games, and while I applaud the effort they put into this game, it still does not hold up very well. When compared to their newer games, it both looks and feels incredibly dated to play. There are numerous ways to rack up points such as making heavy use of the soul drain mechanic or defeating a boss within the last couple of seconds, and while both are indeed satisfying to pull off, they are usually not worth the risk. Soul drained enemies become a lot more aggressive and will corner the player far more easily. This will usually result in a death or the player wasting a bomb, or worse, their entire stack of bombs if they have that feature active. The boss bonus is just about never worth the risk, as players will have to widdle the boss's health bar down almost completely and then stop shooting entirely only to finish the boss off within the final couple of seconds. It is very easy to lose a life when trying this, given how long you will have to weave around projectiles. Another thing that I would like to point out is that you don't get extra lives for racking up points like you would in Star Hunter DX (at the very least, I don't recall ever getting an extra life this way). There are also no online leaderboards, which only makes the bonus systems even more useless here. The last thing I would like to mention is the checkpoint system. If you run out of lives and you choose to continue, you will continue from a checkpoint. The problem with this is that you will start from that checkpoint with the number of lives and bombs that you had at that point. This can lead to situations where you could respawn with no lives and no bombs. In conclusion; This game was a learning experience for the developers. Personally, I'm happy that it exists, as without it, there would be no Star Hunter DX or Space Moth Lunar Edition. HOWEVER, I would still recommend that you get those games instead. If you must buy this, either get the 1CC Games Shmup Collection which includes this and their other 2 shmups or the Interstellar Insanity Bundle, which includes this, its soundtrack, Void Invaders and Hyperspace Invaders II: Pixel Edition.

I would reccomend this game but only for people who are willing to chip away at a level for days.

It's a good shmup game but the final boss is silly. I understand they were going for a hibachi thing but the thing is, hibachi is always an optional boss, not the mandatory final boss.

Don't ask me why.

Solid Shoot'em up. Fantastic vibs. crystal clear bullet colors and patterns, and somewhat beginner friendly. I like the save state system for practice and pushing forward for again, beginners, to more easially encourage trying that 1CC with long game in mind. Yeah, good one.

One of the best shmups out there. Great sound and visuals.

Играя в этот понос можно блевануть от всей мешанины на экране

Great vertical shmup with and awesome art style and sound track.

Star Hunter DX by 1CC Games fixes everything that was wrong with Space Moth DX. Space Moth DX is very difficult. People are afraid to say it's difficult, and there needs to be an easy difficulty mode. I'm tired of replaying Stage 2 over and over, so I quit, as well as throwing a coffee mug across the living room. On a positive note, Space Moth DX is an all star shmup, and one of the best of all time mixing amazing visuals and top tier music. I just wish I could play Level 3. Shout out to 1CC games for listening to their customer base for understanding all the flaws of Space Moth DX. Honestly though, Space Moth DX could use an update to implement an easy mode. For the gamer though, pay the extra money and purchase Star Hunter DX, which is a side scrolling version of Space Moth DX with an easy mode.
