Sun Blast: Star Fighter

finally a game where i can just blow stuff up without a 20 minute tutorial.‍

Why is this so addictive? I have exams to study for...‍

controls are responsive and the ship feels heavy in a good way.‍

Скучно, однообразно, управление деревянное и каждый второй противник загораживает половину экрана. Буквально худшая игра в моей жизни, потраченного времени категорически жаль

ну такоеееее

It's like budget Star Wars but with more arcade physics. I dig it.‍

i'm rank 1 on the leaderboards (for now). come get me.‍

smooth fps, no bugs, just pure gameplay. refreshing.‍

I enjoyed this game despite the fact that it's overly simplistic and occasionally extremely frustrating. It's kind of a flying shooter, but it feels more like a minigame much of the time since you're just flying straight toward the projectiles and enemies. There's not much depth to the combat, you pick up upgrades and these give you stronger weapons and then a shield, and then you get downgraded if you take a hit. Most stages are very easy since you can take 8 hits per stage, but the boss fights are brutal. They're not hard in the traditional sense but rather because they all have the equivalent of a stupid homing attack that hooks as it approaches. It doesn't quite work the way the devs planned, it's mostly extremely irritating and this culminates with an extremely irritating final boss. Once you beat the game, the extra medal challenges can take hours if you want all the achievements. The goals are simple, but a few involve weird strategies that can take hours to figure out, so you won't breeze through them. I did find this overall to be just challenging enough to avoid me feeling like it was a waste of time, so I would say it's worth the time it took to figure out. I recommend it but keep in mind it is shallow and repetitive.

MY THUMBS HURT. 10/10 would get carpal tunnel again.‍
