Galagan's Island: Reprymian Rising is a classic arcade shmup shooter in a modern shell.
No continues, no lives, no checkpoints. You die, you go back to the beginning.

25 Levels of chaotic shooting and trying not to die. And it's fun!
You have powerups like shield and triple fire that make it easier to blast aliens.
Everything is very fluid and well-optimised which makes the game very enjoyable.
Game features a local co-op so you can play with a friend, or a cat, or you can be two players at once if you don't have any friends (don't worry, I will always be your friend)

Cool retro style with modern effects. Lots of explosions and other similiar effects commonly seen in today's games. Enemies are pretty generic for a bullet-hell game, various blobs and space octopuses, but that's okay.

Most sound effects don't stand out that much so there's not much to say about them. But the music is awesome! An interesting blend of many genres like electronica, jazz and even hip-hop. If you're planning on buying the game,I encourage you to also buy a soundtrack, If you enjoy at least 2 of these genres.

Kinda weird. You must hold hover if you don't want to be at the very bottom of the screen.
When you hold hover your ship also steers slower, so it's really hard to dodge a barrage of projectiles when you're in the middle of the screen. The flip ship works only when you have the double ship powerup. If you don't have it on levels when enemies spawn behind your back, then you must wait till they break the formation and follow you, which can take a while.

Overall, nothing ground-breaking, but simply an enjoyable indie game that features an awesome soundtrack and doesn't cost a fortune. Give it a try, it can surprise you.
