Are You Ready features more than 10 different maps to navigate/explore with four different environments i.e. forest, mountains, desert and snow. The enemy AI seems to anticipate your shots (i.e usually they fire before you and in the direction you are moving. There are five bosses to beat. You get five lives but no saves, which for the average player will probably mean lots of restarts. You can see Steam community comments about today's game (most are useless) HERE and see a video of game play on the Steam page HERE. I purchased this on release almost 3 years ago but as usual with these two bit games hadn't got around to playing it until today when it was being given away via the game giveawayoftheday. As mentioned above, the AI is okay in that you don't get a free ride; you have to work for your kills due to the enemy ships movement tactics (if you can call them that).

The game should give the average top down shooter fanatic a reasonable challenge, but if you are not familiar with this type of game, you may struggle to even get past the first level. I've been playing these games for many years and still struggled to get to the end of the level. Whether that was the game or my play style IDK? One sore point; beware of the boxes (power ups) left behind by enemy craft that you destroy; some give you a life back, others for some unknown reason kill you. There's no indication as far as I could see that enables you to tell one box from another. About 50% of the time I picked up one of these boxes (by flying over it) and immediately died. Another odd thing is when you shoot at some objects such as the trees they move around. which is weird. The enemy AI appears to use cover advantageously, this together with the moving trees actually made it much harder to destroy them as the trees were constantly blocking my missiles.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ Asteroids clone. Lots of crashing, poor optimisation, gameplay was terrible - power-up boxes kill you? Sometimes? What?

Feels like they are trying to make a game 'hard' by making it cheap - aka inconsistent. Hard is fine, random is annoying.

Avoid this game!
even on sale this is not worth it.
the games "tutorial" is so hard that its almost impossible to beat.
difficulty scaling is horrible, (unfair to the player)
the AI is so bad they shoot the walls.
the game is poorly optimized.
input is so slow you will see your player move after 1 sec.
game physics are bad.
feels cheap and handles bad even on the menu.

overall 1/10 DO NOT BUY.
