Envoy
About
Envoy is a short physics based spaceflight game where you have been created by a monolith for the sole purpose of retrieving "force crystals" to it. Evade increasingly aggressive locals, utilize special abilities, all to complete your mission.
Additionally, it is being listed on Steam for free because it lacks the following:
Your mission is to retrieve five force crystals to the monolith.
Your sole and only purpose is to deliver force crystals back to a monolith. Weave and dodge around asteroids by utilizing realistic space physics, and have your flight somewhat regulated by a slight drag force applied when going too fast.Locals have noticed your presence and will get more aggressive over time.
You are not alone on your mission, and not in a good way. For some reason, locals don't want you to complete your mission and will do their best to stop you. The further you progress and longer you take, the more aggressive ships they'll send, ranging from police ships to military battleships.Utilize various abilities to keep yourself safe from the locals.
As you retrieve force crystals, you will unlock new abilities to utilize to make your mission easier. You can use them to outwit the locals, avoid an asteroid collision, or just accelerate the speed of your mission.Survive as long as possible after completing your mission.
Once the mission is complete, you have only one objective: survive. Utilize abilities and the skills you have learned to fight even more aggressive locals, as they throw their most powerful forces your way.Why is Envoy a free game?

Space Strikers... xD Ok, not so much but if it is a decent shoot em up navesitas for what it costs; Half-dollar discount.
> Broadly: This Little game is a crazy navesitas (shot em up) arcade with almost null history, and simple gameplay (you only occupy the mouse of your PC for everything) in which you are like Fry of Futurama, and to carry galactic sends in your missions you have to shoot waves and OR Leaders of enemy ships at each level which concludes with a boss.
> The good:-well... Entertains, to be a simple game.
-Your ship can get improvements throughout the game; Sell loot and buy weapons or perks for your navesita.
-even a toaster runs it, and its gameplay does not occupy anything just the clicks and movement of your mouse.
> The bad:-well... It's a 5-cent game: So obvious is simple, though it amuses even so. (Did you expect a masterpiece?)
In short: Well... It is a decent game 5/10 which goes up to have a simple gameplay and old school 6/10 (eye, only if you like the genre) if you do not like the crazy Navesitas (SHEMUP's) as a genre... It is a title that will not offer you anything and you can do without.

"Envoy" is an indie spacecraft shooter.
From a Bird'S Eye view, the Underground scrolls away pretty slowly beneath us. So We always fly upstairs and shelling out approaching enemies with our Weapons, mostly In Formation. Fixed Guns, material Obstacles and Bosses Must also be survived. Destroyed Enemies like to drop Power-ups like temporary Shields to pick up. Between the varied Levels we can then put our Ship up and over quite extensively.
What is certainly good is the Variation width of the Levels. So we not only have to shoot, but also, for Example, sometimes evade the Opponents at high Speed or advertise ourselves through rotating Background Objects.
The Whole thing comes off pretty solid with matching Graphics, nice Sound and driving Music.
One Problem that at least I first had to get used to is the lack of controller support. So we fly with Mouse, which works technically well, precisely and responsively, but also seems strange when we land in The opposite Corner Of the Screen with a Swipe in zero Command. Problem with this: Due to the fact that especially the contact with the Opponents causes damage, any jerky Movements are prohibited. Otherwise you will end up in the Enemy's Hangar faster than you would like. You can get used to it, but at first Glance this Type of control seems Strangely unnatural.
Nevertheless, you can recommend the Game, because it creates what it promises.
