ASTRO AQUA KITTY

Very simple little shooter. It's quite short and sweet. The music is awesome, tho. Only couple of the weapons felt usable. The laser used way too much energy, also some other higher damage weapons were not balanced well. I used only the shotgun and basic plasma throughout the game and they were okay. I played this on regular and there is no achievement for the higher difficulties so I'm not gonna attempt this again. Recommended on sale only, this is kinda way too simple and short to get bang for your buck.

Dull way to play+High quality+rich content=AAK Price is too high, buy this on a discount.

Astro Aqua Kitty is a curious game. It tries to be a simple shmup that incorporates Metroidvania elements for its levels. I find it does a great job for the price point. There is a decent amount of weapons & items you can equip your ship with, playing around with that setup is enjoyable. Same as the other Aqua Kitty games, if you want to play something relaxing that is trying its best to be a enjoyable gaming experience without being a Bullet-hell or Soulslike tough-as-nails experience, give Astro Aqua Kitty a try!

Очень хорошая игра, но имеющая огромный минус если вы будете играть на клавиатуре: клавиши управления нельзя переназначить. Достоинства: * Отличный визуальный стиль сделанный с любовью; * На старте можно выбрать Пилота и Инженера со своими пятью способностями (супер оружие защита и т.п.), но использовать можно только любые четыре; * Отличные уровни; * Хорошая музыка и звуки. Недостатки: * Как уже отмечалось: нельзя переназначить клавиши управления; * "Аркадынй" режим игры, добавленный позднее, довольно сложен, непродуман, хотя потенциал есть; * При выборе Пилота и Инженера их активные способности не совсем понятны, особенно оружие, система разблокирования и выбора не сразу понятна. Совет: после того как способности Пилота или Инженера разблокированы их еще нужно выбрать!

I feel really split about my thumb down here because, on one hand, it’s a well-executed game without a bug that has great visuals, good soundtracks, and some fun gamplay elements. However, while the gameplay is fun at the beginning, it gets old relatively quickly. And the main reason for this is because the substantial upgrade to your abilities kinda stoped after 1-2 (stage) levels. Also, at first, I was under the impression that you can swap out the pilot and engineer through the game, but that appears not to be the case, which limits the variety of gameplay you can experience through a gameplay quite significantly. As you progress through the different levels, the enemies keep getting stronger and more difficult, but you don’t acquire any new abilities to cope with them. You can buy or collect higher level weapons, but they only help you keep up with enemies that also have higher stats. The puzzle-solving part of the game also wasn’t set up progressively. There wasn’t any puzzle at all at the beginning, but suddenly at some later levels, they spring random puzzles at us. They just feel out of place and end up just being annoying and not that fun. It's crazy for me that the game lasts only 8 hours and yet it feels too long. Maybe, it would be better if I thought of it more like an old arcade game with a more linear progression. You can buy this game relatively cheap on sales though, so it's not like a major disappointment for me.

Любимая игра с шикарной музыкой и геймплеем. ждем продолжение.
