Crystal breaker: In yor fase

It really feels more legitimate playing Crystal Breaker with this sort of controller.


Summer Carnival ‘93 called - they want their shmup back - And I’m not going to give it to them.


In my typical style, I started playing with the default ship to get the hang of things, but flipping over to the alternate this evening it is fascinating how this ship really forces you into the mode of optimal play (without having to also read a wiki about the scoring system to best understand how to utilise it). Pointblanking is the aim of the game and with a ship with a decreased fire radius you actually have to get in their face to do any damage. And so it pushes you towards hype caravan feel as you move from node to node, keypoint to keypoint, sitting on top of things to dish out the damage. Such fun.

It really is a demo that gives you a lot to play with. And the game itself is a culmination of a lot of Terarin's work - number of other interesting ones to go back to if you haven't tried them :3
