The music and the parallax-effect title page alone are fantastic, but the game's pretty decent as well. Yes, the sprites are pretty chunky, but they're fast moving, the backgrounds are good, and the sound effects are noisy and satisfyingly "right" for a shoot-em-up. If there's a criticism it's that- minor changes in the waves aside- the gameplay can get a bit samey. But for £1.99 (just over £4 at 2008 prices), this was incredible value. |
