Blast Horizon

For $13.00 this is a really fun little game. It plays just as the description says, no complicated skill trees, and no roguelike elements so the missions can be learned. The slowdown feature is a plus when the screen gets littered with bullets. If you like bullet hell games, you'll feel right at home here. The missions are all real detailed graphically so the missions are a joy to look at. I hope the developer is reading this because one thing they need to fix is the sound. The sound is WAY TOO quiet. I turned the sound up in the settings all the way and I turned up my speakers to 70% and the game is STILL too quiet. The only other thing that needs fixing is there needs to be a "space bar" in the name entry screen. Also, when you put a period at the end of something for an abbreviation, instead of putting the dot in for a period, it spells out the word "period" and sticks that in place of where the dot should go. Same thing with a comma. Instead of putting in the comma, it puts in the word "comma." Otherwise a good game that I recommend.

Pure old-school arcade nostalgia. No roguelike, no skill trees, just tight dodging and a slow-time mechanic that turns a screen full of chaos into something you can weave through. Every death felt like my fault, which is exactly how these games should feel. Had a blast with it, and it is seriously impressive work from a solo dev. Recommended.
