Vulture

Do you remember Opentyrian? Or Tyrian itself? If so, you've got a great idea what you're getting into. Think: Build your own Tyrian ship. If you have no idea what I'm talking about: Vulture's a 2d SHUMP, wherein you're always flying upwards, always dodging bullets, and always shooting back to get rid of those little buggars who want you dead. The quirk here is that you get to build your own ship in any fashion you like. Want a ship of twelve laser cannons to simple leave a line of death? Sure! Two missile launchers and enough capacitors to fire faster than a Robotech Rocket Circus? Doable! As a fair warning: the game takes a bit to get into. The learning curve for making your ship work is a bit steep, and until you get some shielding blocks your ship's basically made of glass wrapped in wax paper. Luckily, you'll never be short of cash when buying copies of weapons or hull blocks to get your ship just how you like it, once the parts are unlocked. As a side not: As fun as this game is, there's a visual quirk I just can't get past without laughing. Several of the big "boss" ships start looking less like ships, and more like someone glued wings onto buildings from the old Apple 2 or c64 version of Ultima 2 or 3, and had them fly at you to attack. Eventually I even built my own ship that looked a bit like the old weapon shops from back then. At that point, hey, it was less a game about space combat, and more about why my weapon shop was the most deadly shop of all. Game was received via an online giveaway through Twitter.

原本想說沒中文應該可以簡單玩 結果別說有沒有中文了 有中文我也感覺不會組裝飛機啊... 希望新增中文 不過這買的人那麼少我想是不會增加新語言了

I enjoyed the classic feel of the game and the customizable ships. I really appreciate that I can play it on my dinky office pc. the broadside emmiter wouldnt flip with the mirrior tool but thats fine because I never used it haha. If you can make your way to the end you can cheese every boss with a cluster bomb, so thats a bit underwhelming but thats a choice I made and not neccesarily a flaw. I found it really hard to progress without extensive bomb usage but they are also very fun so i dont mind. I learned about this game because i met one of the devs on the bus, I just want to say this was woth buying and you are a cool team. I hope to play more of your games if you make another. Now to try and 100% this :D

Nice idea, terrible execution.
