I wanted to love this game.  I absolutely love Solar Striker and maybe I'm being harsh because of the similarities.  But this game seems to be missing the things that made Solar Striker addicting for me.  

Limited ammo for power-ups is disappointing.  I don't like how powerups swap out instead of upgrade (although I do like the powerup variety).  There's no real alert for low health.  There's a lot going on in the HUD at the bottom of the screen so when health is low it seems easy to miss.  I've been totally surprised every time I die.  

Anyway, I'm still happy I made the purchase.  I think the dev is working on (or has completed) a sequel.  I'd love to see a follow-up to see what changes are made.  I know each title published is a learning experience. Maybe #2 will hit the spot for me.  This one was close enough I'm willing to give it a chance.
