Disastr_Blastr

I have enjoyed this game for many hours beyond the time that Steam knows of. Having been part of beta testing and on I have seen this game evolve from it's original masochistic minimalist form to its current massively, masochistic, minimalistic form. With the addition of power-ups the developer has granted players a morsel of mercy that adds to the fun. It also gives me the ability to say, in a curmudgeonly voice, "Power-ups?! Back in my day, a Disastr_Blasr power-up was a kick in the jimmy! And we liked it!" One of the truly cool things I love about Dog Theory's approach with this minimalist game is that every detail is meaningful. When I play this game it is clear to me that a lot of love and thought has been squished into it. Heart pounding, cool sounding, super-challenging and artsy fun!

Квадратный минималистичный шутем ап с хардкорными элементами. Изначально я думал, что игра мне абсоютно не понравится, однако затем она все-таки увлекла. Уровни здесь кажутся изначально однообразными, но они сделаны все-таки по-разному, из-за этого не наскучивает игра. К тому же их тут порядка 100, поэтому потратите не один час, чтобы пройти их все. Игра, конечно, не на высокую оценку, но любителям подобных аркад очень даже должна понравиться. 7/10

Pretty boring and repetitive game. You are in these levels where the screen scrolls sideways and you shoot cubes at cubes. there's different power ups to pick up, but they don't stack and its tough to tell whats worse or better, so you just auto switch to what you pick up. Some levels its about reaching the end. The worst levels involve a time limit and scrolling back and forth destroying every block till you find collectibles. Its super stupid level design, at one point I took a top path and it was a dead end so i died, because instead of getting full control over my guy i can get killed by an auto moving screen. Then you need to restart the whole level, every level feels the same, all the same powerups, and all enemies are just cubes. Waste of time 4/10.

Easy to play, a challenge to master. Great gameplay, great music. It'll draw you in like it did me. A lot of thought was put into development and it shows. Get it. (I won the key for this game at an arcade. I'd buy it myself now that I know how great it is)

You're a square in abstract geometry minimal land, completing objectives, moving to awesome techno music, and going pew-pew. 10/10 would recommend. Seriously though, Disastr_Blastr is a great time and I've spent countless hours just working through the variety of levels that introduce new enemies and obstacles. Oh, it gets hella-hard at points, but I loved every second of it. I think for the sheer amount of levels, powerups you obtain, and ability to play the levels how you want, this is more than worth the base price of $4.99.

Very nice game

I may be biased in this review, given that I wrote the majority of the music for the game and the DLC soundtrack (shameless plug ahem!), but Disastr_Blastr is one of the best examples of easy to learn and difficult to master arcade/twin stick shooters that I have ever come across. This is what endeared me to the project in the first place. Do yourself a massive favour and test your mettle out on this indie gem of a game. If you love it, great tell us about it. If you don't, well tell us if you want, but hey you will all experience #HYPERDEATH at least once when you play it and whether you think it's unfair or just randomly difficult, the experience will be an unforgettable one anyway! #HYPERDEATH
