    Incredibly gorgeous and retro-difficult horizontal shooter with mechanics borrowed and influenced by various horizontal and vertical shooters from over the past 35 years, with particular emphasis on Graftgold & Hewson's classic on the British 8 Bit micros back in the 80s. Well worth a play.

    I really like this. Despite a couple of problems, I keep coming back. It's one of the best modern takes on Uridium and incorporates a lot of modern horizontal shooter elements that complement the flow and feel. The graphics are a stand out. I'll admit, I add scan lines via Reshade that, for me, enhances the look of most pixel art, but the whole look is very well composed and rendered. The game play is well balanced…

    EDIT: ATM the game has annoying technical bugs still to be fixed... is also unplayable with non-1920x1080 screens (big fonts out of screen, disappearing mouse pointer in fullscreen, badly positioned/truncated screen in fullscreen or borderless... clearly untested on different screens/resolutions rescale), so I can't honestly recommend it, especially after last update which introduced also sound bugs (!). No news…
