Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 31 → 0.14/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The developers live up to their name. It's like they had a list of "cool things to do with the horizontal shoot 'em up genre" and did all the wrong things with it: Cool Idea 1: You can travel both right and left, clearing out a stage at your own pace. Developer interpretation: Tower defense games are fun, right? Let's have the player defend allied ships, in effect anchoring them to certain positions, on multiple missions. Cool Idea 2: Multiple ships to choose from so you can find the ship that fits your play style. Developer interpretation: Feeling powerful and in control is for chumps. None of our ships are particularly good and, even when powered up, still feel weak and far too slow. Cool Idea 3: Challenge the player with missions inside each stage. Developer interpretation: Missions, eh? How about we force you to sit through pointless dialog scenes to give each stage context instead? That's basically the same thing... Oh, and it's buggy. In the short amount of time I've played, the first stage bugged out TWICE. The first time, it rendered the last enemy in a wave unkillable. The second time, it never spawned the last enemy in a wave at all. I couldn't progress. Many of the stages have extremely bright backgrounds or backgrounds the same color as the enemy's shots, making it nearly impossible to tell where enemy fire is at times, too. I had such high hopes for this game when I heard about it, but it's honestly baffling how wrong they got everything.

[h1]Syder Arcade: El Viaje a La Droguería Espacial[/h1] [h2]Resumen[/h2] ¿Quién dijo que todos los shooters de desplazamiento lateral tenían que ser un calco del otro? Syder Arcade llega a romper moldes... y no me refiero a los de hacer gelatina, sino a esos llenos de polvo de disparar y navegar como abuelos por el cosmos. Preparen sus pulgares, que este no es un juego para cardíacos ni para quienes se marean con el scroll infinito. [h2]Aspectos importantes e interesantes[/h2] Díganle adiós al aburrimiento y hola a un frenesí de balas y pixel art. Syder Arcade nos trae vistazos nostálgicos con una calidad que raya en lo absurdo (positivamente). Nivel tras nivel, el juego te hace saltar, gritar, y quizás lanzar algún objeto inanimado contra la pared, pero oye, ¿acaso eso no es entretenerse? Otro punto emocionante es la variedad de naves. Cada una te hace sentir como si pudieras acribillar asteroides mientras cocinas una pizza. [h2]Aspectos por mejorar[/h2] ¿Historia? ¿Qué historia? Aquí el guion está más perdido que calcetín en lavadora. Con un poco más de contexto, tal vez nos importaría más el por qué estamos desintegrando alienígenas, aparte del puro placer morboso. La dificultad puede ser un poco... eh, ¿injusta? Hay momentos en los que te preguntas si los desarrolladores te odian personalmente. Un toque de ajuste no estaría mal para que no terminemos explorando terapia de estrés post-partida.

Y recuerda, la diversión está en intentarlo... una y otra vez.
x box joy pad is a nightmare to set up for this game have been to all settings and i can,t figure it out other wise looks a good game
Zasekl jsem se v třetí misi (což je půlka kampaně), která se mi nepodařila dokončit. Možná jsem tak neschopnej, ale měl jsem ze hry takový podivný dojem. V kampani jsou hned od začátku odemčeny všechny mise, což je zvláštní. Systém progrese mé vesmírné lodě mi unikl zcela. Občas misi začínám s vylepšenými zbraněmi (zřejmě přenesenými z minulé mise), občas začínám s úplně základními "plivátky", kterými je problém kohokoliv sestřelit. Nerozklíčoval jsem, kdy nastává která varianta. Ale dávám tomu částečnou vinu za to, proč jsem se nebyl schopen posunout dál. Pokročilá mise se základní zbraní mi přišla nereálná. Druhý problém jsem měl s vizuálem. Ačkoliv je hra graficky moc pěkná, tak se na displeji odehrává přílišný vizuální chaos a jde to jen velmi těžko sledovat. Některá herní pozadí neposkytují dostatečný kontrast pro lodě a střely nepřátel. Zároveň hra dost často velmi oddálí obraz a vaše loď se stane hodně prťavou. V záplavě střel a efektů jsem ji dost často ztrácel z očí (přešel jsem kvůli tomu z notebookového displeje na velký externí monitor, ale moc to nepomohlo). Co mi přišlo zpočátku hodně sympatické je velké množství grafických filtrů, který se dá obraz hry prohnat, a můžete si simulovat vzhled třeba Amigy, Commodoru, Herkulesu, VGA, atd. Jenže když si s tím přestane hrát v menu a pustíte si reálnou hru, tak zjistíte, že ačkoliv je to "cool", tak hra na to prostě připravená není - v některých situacích má např. pozadí úplně stejnou barvu jako střely nepřátel. Takže je to jen efekt pro efekt, bohužel. Celkové hodnocení: Nic moc Zdroj komentáře: http://dbher.cz/k31067
one of the best SHMUP ever
My goodness. For the longest time I was worried I'd never make 100% of the achievements. But just like with every good arcade game it just takes a while to get the hang of it. Now that I'm out of frustration mode, I feel fully accomplished. Great feeling! Added this to my "suitable for the kids" list.
Pretty cool game, just a pity that the buff drops aren't random (the same enemy drops the same buff every time) so every run is the same.
I want to recommend this little game to shump players... BUT it was a very short one, only a few number of Campaign mission, with some extra 3 survival map, however, there's an ok amount of achievements as well as the ship selection...although only a few of them But... it's totally fine if you get it on a sale, there's Bug for the achievements, like the survival one, game won't ends when you beat it, and your achievements won't pop up I really like the feeling of having a space fleet with you to clean the map, and you can fight enemy's space ship as well *But Be Warned... this game had some game breaking bug, at least for the Survivor mode, where you can't finish the game due to some bug, also "Pure" difficulty are ...near impossible to beat
Once again, Steam seems to have removed my original in-depth review of a game (my review was positive and had nothing wrong or inappropriate about it) so I'm tired of this re-writing stuff and cannot be arsed again... So just "Yes, I recommend it, it's pretty good. That's all." :(
