Z-Exemplar

This game is difficult. Your hand will cramp up. You have to continually press the fire button old school. You can't redefine the keys despite it being a Unity game which has a facility to add that really easily in the launcher. Some of the sound effects are too loud and really grate. You will see the option for chunky vs. smooth movement in the menu and breathe a sigh of relief... Until you realise it was already on smooth.

First things first: I recommend this game. Buy it now. It's cheap, it's unique, it's wholeheartedly retro. But therein may also lay its biggest drawback - the power-up system. While a 1-button control scheme and a Gradius like power-up system might be retro to the core, that doesn't mean it is nice. It never was, not even back then. So, be prepared to struggle with the power-up system, to curse it, to cuss at it. If you manage to overcome this, you will have a lot of fun, with this very unique exploration style little shmup. Wait, did I say little? This game is HUGE. After 10 hours of playtime I only had 15 % of the map conquered and it really started to get tough. You definitely get your money's worth with this game. Oh and never mind that it also features gorgeous ZX-Spectrum inspired graphics, as well as a great soundtrack. Combined with its sense of humor you really have an engaging experience for people who are really into old games.

像素射击游戏 所以画面问他就不用特别吐槽了 1.整个游戏最大的一个反人类设置就是 为什么射击按键是空格，而且还不能按住一直攻击 需要不停的按空格，这就很变态，还需要兼顾WSAD控制移动 2.就一条命，死了这关重来

While game perfectly captures ZX Spectrum nostalgia (R-Type but other games are referenced in graphics and color schemes too), its' novelty quickly wears off, and the game turns into repetitive grind. Contr-intuitively, most hostile planets, that require lots of replays, have less coins, so they are less rewarding. This slows progress to a halt. Also, despite there are many different planets, planets of the same type are different combinations of same patterns, and new enemies or level elements are introduced rarely. So, while game provides several hours of Spectrum-ish fun (color clash is almost 100% perfect), I don't recommend it if you have habit of actually winning the games and don't want to grind.

Its a smashing little pick-up-and-play vertical shmup in the style of the ZX Spectrum. I'm old enough to have played an awful lot of shoot 'em ups on the speccy such as Nemesis, Flying Shark, Xevious and R-Type (which ranged from Nemesis - awful to R-Type - incredible) back in the days when I had hair, but none are as colourful, varied, or as forgiving as this. But then, this is a lot larger than 48KB. It's a love letter to my youth. Great stuff. And thank you.

where is gamepad?

Basically R-Type on the Speccy on steroids. The levels are a bit short, and sometimes a bit tight to move around in, but those powerups more than make up for it. A lovely little retro looking blaster.

me gusta mucho, muy buenos diseños. super retro.

Trés bon jeu ! Pas de FULL SCREEN!!Pouick puick.

If you love games such as R-type, Gradius and other old school shooters this one is right up your alley. This game has me in awe. Congratulations to Suminell Studios. I will certainly keep my eyes peeled for their past and future work!
