Scoregasm

Nette Idee, mangelhafte umsetzung in meinen Augen. Gespielt auf diesem Laptop System: https://valid.x86.fr/0u9wfj Verfasst am 19. September.

[h1]Purely Positional, Point-based, Portals galore[/h1] [b][i]Scoregasm[/i][/b] has a simple premise: turn on auto-fire and move to whenever the enemy is not. "So, the same as any other twin stick shooter?" you might ask, and yes it controls like a simple twin stick shooter, but it demands positional awareness more than lots of other games I know in the genre. This is because Scoregasm doesn't always play in a nice rectangular grid where enemies just come at you, no sir. Every level in Scoregasm takes place on its own arena with its own challenges (some have deadly lasers, some have moving hazards, some are concentric rings and demand you to stay clear of some rings...) This, to me is the greatest strength in the game: it has many, many arenas to fight in. Some are your run of the mill squares, some will lock you in a small jail and ask you to take out enemy counter-attacks. A full run of Scoregasm then runs as such: you play a level and, depending on several factors, you open up one or more portals to new levels, with different levels of difficulty. You then choose how easy or hard you make your run: do you always go for the hardest one, or do you prefer to keep it simple? Any time you play a level you "unlock" it so you can jump straight ahead to it in a future run (albeit with 0 points), so you can retry a difficult arena without having to pass through all previous challenges, a nice practice-friendly options that more games should consider. Lastly, there's little actual customization to the ship, but it's not needed. The upgrades on every level will slowly float towards you, so you just need to survive long enough for them to reach you. Just focus on being not where the enemies are. You can get a good blast out of this older game.

A twin stick shooter that really encourages you to keep the combo going. Nothing groundbreaking here, but it's done well enough. Bullet hell type games don't tend to be entertaining for very long, and unfortunately Scoregasm doesn't break that mold. Good enough if you want to kill some time and you have nothing better to do, though I'd still recommend waiting for a sale.

A pretty twin stick shooter, with some unique elements to many of the levels. A remix of quality bits from other games. It's ok, but nothing special.

Very nice game

This is an awesome game. Simple atari generation type game with the graphics of today.

This is a fun game all around. If you liked Twin Stick shooters, you should like this one! It is better than 'Son of Scoregasm'.
