The game is really fun and kinda addicting. But it's missing somethings a wish were in it.-multiplayer-stats for different custom slots-steam workshopThe game also somethimes bugs out by putting random colours and things in a custome slot.But overall the game is very fun.. I absolutely have no regrets spending under $5 on this game! I will go through and list the positives and and negatives I found after playing this game for about an hour or so, a grain of salt is not provided but feel free to take one if you need to.Graphics: 8 What do you expect, it's hand drawn on crumpled notebook paper and then animated! The kind of crap we dreamed of doing in Jr. High or High School. Sound: 8 It is a light blippy and bubbly soundtrack and though I reside on the dark side of the spectrum, I can't help but wiggle and dance just a little bit from the overflowing and overwhelmingly happy music. The sound effects are equally as happy and add to the overall experience. I was expecting pew pew pew and got bloop bloop bloop. Gameplay: 9 This is a top down shooter like Asteroids or Space Invaders. I can see this becoming engrossing and completely addictive if you have a weakness for casual games. While the gameplay isn't super face melting fast paced by any means, it is extremely anxiety inducing once you get passed The Leviathon boss. Replayability: 10 So it is permadeath in the sense you only get one, maybe two chances if you have a shield. The ability to custom create your own scribble ship allows you to play the same "map" over and over again and each play through is completely different. So here come the negatives that I found. -No coop multiplayer. Couch coop for this game would make it 10x better! -Not enough variety of weapons: This game needs paint cluster bombs, paint (flame) thrower, proximity mines, paint lasers, something...you get your basic bloop bloop gun and some targeting paint missles but in the hour or so I played the weapons are just more of the same, but faster. -More backgrounds needed. I love the fact that when you "destroy" a ship with your paint guns, it is added to the paper background you are playing on. This only looks so cool for so long...variety is the spice of life. I would love to see a few more notebooks or desks or tables etc added as backgrounds. Maybe a bathroom stall wall or something :D Overall Impression: HELL YES! for under $5 you get a casual game that keeps your interest, supports independent devs, and is an amazingly fun experience. I look forward to seeing if the devs keep this game fresh and new feeling with updates. Will this be my main game with 100s of hours, probably not. Will this be a game I fall back on when other servers are down or when I am feeling casual. Oh yes! This has the potential to be a huge black hole of time, in the most positive sense of the phrase :D I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME!. As of this review, I've spent a little over 10 hours on this, which makes it my #4 most played Steam game. The main reason for that is the simplicity of the controls. It did take me a little bit to get used to, but after a few play throughs (and realizing that different ships had different abilities, like the number of hits the ship can take) it made sense.This is very similar to the old Asteroids game, except with a lot more color, abilities, and enemy types. So if you liked Asteroids, I'd imagine you'd enjoy this one too. While writing this review, I see the game is on sale for less than $1, making this the perfect time to give it a try!. So much fun! Easy to pick up, yet challenging. Highly addictive!
