Radical Spectrum: Volume 1 reviews

Homage to the years 80. When video games were in arcades, apart from video game consoles, and computers. No tutorial, the game doesn't explain what's going on. With the cursors or "A" and "D", you move. With the arrow up, you jump. When you have taken three balls of the same color and you give the "space", you shoot up and destroy the line that you have on top. And If it touches you, or the black ball falls to the ground, you lose the game. You Can't mix colored balls. Not only Do you lose the opportunity to accumulate 3 colored balls to shoot, but when you have caught a color ball, and then take another ball of color, you lose the two balls and start again to have to get three balls of the same color. Very difficult Game. Not impossible. Very interesting the fact that sometimes it is better to wait a bit to appear other colored balls, before destroying the black ball that already goes in half, or below. When you learn when to attack and where to attack, it is a challenge to spend more levels, or earn more points than you already have as a record. The graphics? They'Re normal for this kind of games. The music? Absolutely Great.

"Radical Spectrum: Volume 1" is a tiny Mini-game. We are Doc DuBrane and in our Radiation Protection suit we have to protect Humanity from Aliens and the evil Prince FaceBox who want to dump radioactive Waste ... The rudimentary Story is every bit as crude as you'd be used to from Games from twenty Years ago. And not only the little Story that we can look at in a few Pictures ingame reminds you frapant of old, small Titles of the C64 era. Music and Sounds, in Particular, make you think of Terms like Datasette and Rob Hubbard. The Play itself takes place in a small High-cantily Rectangular Window-if you don't go into the actually unnecessary Full-screen mode. Above us are square Fields (10 high, 15 wide), above it Hovers an Alien Spaceship that drops different Drops of paint into the Square Grid. Everything moves at an even beat. With each Stroke, the respective drop of Color can run either to the Side or down to the next Box. We move under the Square Grid and are supposed to collect three Equally colored drops each, because then we can shoot once, which dissolves the Row of squares above us. This becomes Necessary because a black Drop flows through every now and then. Reaches The Ground, it's called Game Over. In order to make the Stage, we have to hit the Alien Spaceship With such a Shot. Then we get into an equally functional new Screen, which, however, runs a little faster. There's no More Gameplay. Very rudimentary, very simple, simple and actually unspectacular. But: It works and can keep you entertained again and again for a few Minutes at a time. The Game is no more than that, but it doesn't want to be any more. And that's why it deserves a Thumbs up, because it works confidently in its narrow Confines.
