My Favorite Part: I could write my thoughts but I think My Reaction is worth more than a thousand words. MISSILE!
What the hell is this
I must say, I love a good lesbian acrade game.
LASER!! MISSILE!!! OPTION!! SPEED UP!! SPEED DOWN!!!
this game is a trip, the shump is fun and the flesh mechanic is neat... but god I just can not get over the concept of the game and the voice lines.
this is ACTUAL CINEMA
I was so confused at first and then the realization that hit me after beating the shmup segment...
I didn't think id be laughing so hard from such an unassuming game
Also the gameplay is great. I love this sort of arcadey fast-paced style of shmup (also screaming LASER or MISSILE louder as you upgrade the shot is hilarious)
Laser!
Laser!!!
LASERRR!!!!
(Well. This part HAD to be addressed one day or another.)
Missile!Missile!!!
MISSILEEE!!!!!!!
(Cool and short hardcore SHmUP like in the age of arcades. It's hard but very learnable and exciting at every second!)
INFINITE PRENETRATION!
The story of this game is so PEAK
I literally crying in confusion on the ending and realize everything in this game
I'm glad the game hit successfully. It seems like you got the experience we were aiming for. Thank you for giving the game a chance and sticking with it to the very end!
I thought I was done and then I wasnt... and had to start all over again. I recognize that that is part of the point and message of the whole thing but like FUCK
Thank you for playing! I figured the ending sequence would be divisive. Hopefully, it made the experience more memorable to you even if it FUCKs.
Challenging but fun! I loved the sound design (the announcer voice actually helped me as I was trying to figure out what was going on lol) and visuals; I've never played Lifeforce so the gameplay took some getting used to. The only thing I would have loved to see more of is LGBT-theming (why is Marisa attacking Alice yukkuris?), but I was unable to beat the game so I'm unsure if that came up in the end. I enjoy the challenge though!
Thank you for playing!
Any imagery that's confusing or doesn't make sense to you is likely a Salamander (1986) reference. The LGBT-themes are very subtle, but the game will teach you more if you keep playing.
Controls
Scoring system
Chain weapon upgrades for score. Killing FLESH increases rank which increases the number of enemies spawned and thus the number of items dropped. Bombs refresh the weapon timer, delete bullets and give a bonus for each enemy hit by the explosion.
Other game systems
Marisa and each of her Options can only have 5 bullets on the screen at a time, which limits their rate of fire. Stay on the right side of the screen or pointblank enemies for a massive increase in firepower. Placing an Option inside of anything will obliterate it, allowing you to speedkill even tanky enemies.
