Unbelievably Charmless

I found this game to be unbelievably charmless, from the graphics, to the mechanics, to the environment.

The graphics are reminiscent of another game, Star Guard, and seem almost mirrored to an alarming point. The levels are extremely bland and boring, allowing no room for curiosity or setting. Are we aboard a spacestation, or in a basement? While mirroring the simplistic style of Star Guard, It lacks the charm that makes it work. I strongly suggest Developing a setting, and using that setting to determine the graphical style and content.

The mechanics are simple run/jump/shoot, which work great in mainly games. They bring forth no creative or intuitive use, which in itself is not totally a bad thing--Many games have these cookie-cut controls and work them fabulously--but for these controls to feel like an extension of your own will, there has to be some enticing graphical and environmental feedback. There's nothing to look at besides what you're controlling essentially, and it's quite boring to be honest.
You attempted some creative mechanics with the wall jump, but it was never fleshed out as something I felt necessary, it was just a clunky movement style that was necessary only because of the level design--no setting for the game means I can't make assumptions, If I were in a jungle I would expect to need to swing a vine, or climb a tree. The wall jumping made me envision this game taking place in a ventilation shaft, and that's all it did for me.

I found the game rather unappealing and undeserving of my time. From the boring environment, to the charmless characters, to the unnatural mechanics.
I find it deserving of a 1/10.

Well

Its hard
At least i already have 2 medals..

More like an unpolished Star Guard

I didn't play through this very far, but it really is just a bad ripoff of Star Guard. A terrible one.

The controls feel bad, pointless collectibles are all over the place, enemy and level design is less interesting and less clever and pretty much awful in many places, and the graphics are worse. There is also a wall-jumping ability that is never used for anything interesting, and the environment in Star Guard was much more... uh, well, interesting.

If you have a search engine and half a brain, don't bother playing this game. There's a better one you'd be better off playing instead, somewhere out there ON THE INTERNET. It will welcome you with open arms.

ehh...

The concept is ok and the classic atari style isn't bad but there just isn't much fun to be had with this it kinda gets dull after 2 levels

Welp...

Raitendo pretty much says it all. This game is basically a polished StarGuard. That's not to say it's a bad game though, quite good actually.
