Volcanoids

PUROOM PUM PUROOM!

Game is in Early Access, so expect some weirdness. The wording could be better, many of the instructions will require some thought applied to make sense. If the tutorial is going back and forth, it's wanting you to do something specific and you're not doing it. Otherwise, everything is pretty straightforward. Gameplay is fun, mechanics are satisfying, and the enemies are numerous. If you struggle with any of that, that's on you. There's a plethora of weapons to choose from, tactics to employ, and loads of upgrades. The drill piloting is a 2D experience because you can't exactly see through solid rock now can you? Well, the drill does it for you! My only gripe is that the netcode is a little rough. If you're not the host, don't get into combat. Your aim will be severely affected by lag unless the enemies are standing still. Otherwise, everything else runs just fine. I'm getting full FPS on a 7+ year old gaming laptop.
