I want to start by saying, I really contemplated not writing this down. I do not like the genre, and I did not want to sound too negative. but i eventually decided to put my thoughts down.

I wanted to complete this game, I am, in all fairness, not good at completing games, so I decided that this month would be when it happened, but this game not only made me regret my decision, it also made me hate it, and the time spent playing it.

I did discover some cool things, So allow me to start with the positives.

I really enjoyed the graphics, it is a very pretty game. The gameover screen, the completing a level screen (and animation) are very, very well done.

The menu is also very pretty, the one looking like a hangar where you choose upgrades and missions.

The hangar just looks empty, correct me if I’m wrong, but raptor is from 94, wing commander came out in 90, and their menus were more alive.

but then again. This is an arcade type game, so i will give it that.

Shoot em ups are not my style, and have never been, i am way too slow to get out of the way, so i will say it’s refreshing to have health, and can be hit multiple times. But the game got repetitive very fast. As Pix already states, the bosses did not change looks, only patterns.

I did not complete this game, i did not even complete the shareware version.

I am a bullet magnet, hence why i’m negative about this genre.

But to give credit where credit is due, The game is very pretty.

in reply to: Note to self: this is not Gobliiins #4771

Gobliiins was a adventure game as Yozy stated, you could die in the game and you could get softlocked if you took the wrong items or left the wrong items.
It was also mouse controlled.

Lost vikings was a platformer.

The biggest differences between those two games are

Adventure game/Platformer
Mouse controlled/Keyboard-controller
Goblins/Vikings

I personally did not enjoy gobliiins at all, i loved gobliins 2 and goblins 3 however.

I thing i did not notice until a couple of years ago was that Gobliiins has 3 “I”s because you control 3 goblins.

Gobliins 2 has Two because you control 2

And you guessed it, Goblins 3 has one “I” because you control 1

in reply to: How to get the game #3799

Looking further into Street Rod online, its actually a card game that was placed on kickstarter, it started in 2018 but initially failed, They set up a new kickstarter that would get the money no matter if they got funded or not, the card game can be found here.
https://gaudetegames.com/street-rod-shop/

the card game got from what i can see quite low scores due to incomplete rules, lots of number crunching and how luck based it is, for example, the first players can buy all the cheap parts, and then the last player does not have money to buy parts anymore, and from that point he/she will be behind, and has lost from the get-go.

I know this is about the PC Game, but its quite fun to see what happened the street rod and where it is today.
