This is a game I keep coming back to after all the so called AAA games I have get overlooked.
Yes its damn hard - there's a steep learning curve but nothing good ever came easy - I'm no youngster with jittery fingers and cant say I'm great at playing games - but this is one of the best retro themed games I've ever played. It looks great on a big monitor, and would make a great cocktail cabinet.(It has a cocktail mode too!) The glowing neon look makes it look like a vector screen but in cool colours. At £2.99 its a giveaway - you'd be mad not to own this super game. You'll come back to its fiendish levels again and again..

Cool little game, it's got that old-school feel.

Pro:
* precise controls
* interesting level design with lots of moving parts
* timeless stylized graphics (if you like that style)
* lots of challenge
* not unique, but a genre of games with not too many good competitors
* fleeing after blowing up the last reactor has some nice intensity. Leaving the planet last second is fun.
* inexpensive

Contra:
* lazer walls instantly kill you
* enemies hitting you make you bounce around in small corridors hitting all walls, losing all control, often ending up in cheap death
* I don't think it is possible to win this game with keyboard only controls. I play it with mouse and I see that unconventional control scheme necessary to win this game
* playing for a high score is a bit of an outdated concept. Nobody cares about scores.
* online high score is broken.
* no weapon or ship variety, only a single shooty gun

Classic Arcade Lander/Shooter - 100%
Even complete with Cocktail mode if you want to go Buck!

Brilliant game - more combat oriented than traditional thrust games maybe, but makes a nice complement to something like Thrust Legend. Great graphics, mouse controls take a bit of get used to but soon become second nature. Well worth a purchase.

Classic arcade game play, and as hard as Chinese arithmetic. Good stuff.

This game is the closest thing to one of my favourite games of all time 'Thrust' on the Commodore 64. The only thing missing is the wonderful Rob Hubbard music. I wish you could play with a controller or remap the keys though as the default keys are playable, but not the most comfortable. Don't bother with the mouse it's way to sensitive and takes Jedi-like reflexes to use.

Fantastic little game.. Controls are great, the game is difficult and challenging, and it looks and plays superb!

I hate this game until I tweaked with the controls and used a controller. It's got a steep learning curve now it's fun.

Is not Gravitar.
It's OK as long as you don't go in wanting Gravitar. Because it's not.
