Who here is good at this? Because while I enjoy the games overall vibe, I am having a hell of a time getting the overall feel of it.

The satellite ship mechanic is awesome, as is the overall story and graphical style. Yet at times it feels almost unfair...situations where one of the bosses is throwing arcing rocks at you...some of the rocks are like 3 to 5 pixels wide and almost impossible to see, yet will totally destroy your ship.

Feels extra "quarter munchy"...so thankfully it's obviously on freeplay lol

Undecided if I will keep this B board in my collection. But maybe someone on here really loves it and can give me some more insight into gameplay, as I really do want to enjoy it more!

This game is great! But like you said, it's hard to get used to.

If I remember correctly, this game was supposed to be used with a spinner for the satellite ship, but never officially released it or something. I recall a thread on some forum where someone actually figured out how to get a spinner working with it. In my mind, that would completely change the game dynamic but in a good way.

Trying to find a real answer if the game ever came with a spinner on the cab was impossible, so since it's really going to experienced by almost everyone w/o one, I left the spinner part out of my overview.

I thought about including it but since the likelihood of anyone having the proper equipment to get it set up seemed so minimal I cut it, mostly due to the fact my biggest issue with the game was the complete random bullet patterns and tiny projectiles that were almost impossible to see.

Maybe I'll try getting one wired up at some point and trying again
