Geometry Wars?
You've got to be kidding me!
Sure, this game looks a lot like Geometry Wars, but that is far from what it is.
This is no copy, thi is the real thing.
This game kicks ass.

Challenge your skills in this action packed retro shoot-em-up which features 50 levels, 2 mini games to unlock and more!
Control your ship with the mouse. The game auto shoots for you. Collect "crystals" to gain power ups, BOMBS, and more. Hold DOWN the mouse button to launch a bomb.
The game uses a highly optimized engine, but if the game runs a little slow or laggy, click on Options from the title screen and disable one or more features.
RetroShoot360 is the sequel to the original RetroShoot and is tougher, harder than ever before. Incredible parallax scrolling, awesome particle based explosions, killer sound fx and a pulsating music track. Challenge your skills through 50 levels of intense retro arcade action. Unlock 2 mini games and more. Do you have it takes to once again challenge the RetroNauts?
I had a blast developing RetroShoot360, I hope you enjoy playing it!
Note: Yah... I know the Pong Boss is a bitch. So save your bombs peeps! ;)

Thanks man, I appreciate the comments. ;)
Well...
Is a copy of 'GEOMETRY WARS'...
But is a good copy of 'GEOMETRY WARS' !!!
9/10 STAR ONLY BECAUSE IS A COPY , BUT STILL AWESOME !
seriously
man.. why do you make a good game and then cripple it?
losing power-ups on death is the single most pointless "feature" that shoot-em-ups still incorporate faithfully, game after game, decades after the original consoles have disappeared. How hard is it to see that it has no value other than annoying?
I reached a boss, I had triple the base firepower and a bunch of bombs.. The boss was hard, so I died even after I used all my bombs. So now you give me a second "chance", where I don't have any bombs and only baseline firepower.. oh, and to top it all, the bad guys are back to full health.. really? No, sorry - I am not interested in trying again like that - I am more likely to leave. It's a shame, this could have been a nice game.
JGOware responds:
Seems like peeps just want to complete the game now days and move on to the next. I realize this now and will address this in the update. ;) Thanks for the reivew.
not that good
bad copy of geometry wars
Nice game, bad controls
This game is great and a nice tribute to geometry wars. not a rip off, but a tribute. Some people fail to realize that not all games are rip offs (points to moron below)
The only big problem in this game is the controls. I like having the mouse aim, and I atually prefer that, but holding the mouse to use the bombs makes for a few accidental bombings. On top of that, the weapons need hotkeys. I hate having to go through all the weapons to get to the one that's most suited for a certain enemy.
While the game is good, the controls really let it down.
Sorry, but I have to give this a 7because of the controls.
7/10
3/5
