Blast Em! reviews

A Casual Game that was kept very simple. Really just a ShootEmUp That plays itself very arcade 'ig and is damn heavy. Unfortunately, you can't really look at your actual score as you collect PowerUps with your Score. Technically, the Game is quite ok. The Quality of the Game is good. Only the Depth is still missing for me a little bit. There could be so many more Things built in, like different game modes, or at least a few More achievements that force different Ways of playing (similar to the already existing X Seconds not collecting Coins) For me, the Game is worth €1.50 .

Blast Em is a very minimalist Unity Game created with the simplest of Means. This starts with the Presentation. There is only one Background that is always the same in front of wibbering. The Spacecraft, Enemies and all other Particles are made of 2D Sprites. In Contrast to the 3D animated background, this just doesn't look good. The Game principle is kept very simple. As in a classic Shoot em up, you move from left to right with your Spaceship, dodge the Enemies or shoot them down. In addition, there are a few Powerups that you can collect to reinforce your own Ship. The only Goal of the Game is to achieve as high a score as possible. If you shoot down an Opponent, they leave a Coin, this one is at the Beginning, where it is still quite simple, worth a Point, so the longer you play, the more points the more Points the Coins will be worth. If, on the other Hand, you collect an upgrade, the Game will be lighter again, but you will lose a few Points for each upgrade collected. The Level Of difficulty increases very quickly and you will quickly decide to sacrifice a few Points for the Upgrades, but even with the Upgrades you will die very quickly as the Opponents soon get so fast and numerous on the Screen that you are not a Chance me hr has. To do this, there is only one Life, you get hit once or rams an Opponent is all over. Sometimes you survive a Hit as soon as you have an Upgrade and then lose it, but I have also often died with Upgrades after only one Hit. Conclusion: You simply notice that Blast Em Is just cheap both graphically and playfully. Any normal Gamer can create such a game After a Unity basic Course without much Time. There are many better Flash Games on Congregate or Newgrounds that deserve the Name Shoot-em up as well. It should also be noted that this Game did not appear via Greenlight on Steam and so you must not At least blame the Community. Summary: * Classic Shoot-em up in the "Retro" Look-contrast between Background and Foreground Very bad * quickly boring-no Motiviation except the High Score difficulty increases too quickly on uncapacitable recommendation: Very bad
