Early Access Review
Received this game for free from the developers.
This is not kept into account for scoring. If you don't believe that. Read my nuke'em all review.

Unknowing what to expect going into it I downloaded this at current 300mb ish game and was pleasantly surprised.

Certainly. There are not yet many upgrades. And clearly the game is balanced as such so that you can't quite get far enough to exhaust all upgrades but it sure was fun trying.

The mini challenges keep you on your toes trying to strike a balance between surviving this day and getting enough score for a double upgrade next day.

A match does not last very long but is very engaging and fun while it lasts.
But it is GREAT retro fun. If you just want to waste some time having fun.

In terms of gameplay you have three upgrades and a re-roll. If you use the re-roll too often you have 4 upgrade paths and no re-roll.
Pick your upgrades strategically and you will get far.

Visuals: Retro/10 Various visual styles available via display options. A++ for effort. Thank you for including windowed mode devs. <3

Music: 8/10 Basic but nice. Avoids overload. Well spaced and differentiated to avoid feeling constantly same-y.

Gameplay: 6/10 - Don't get me wrong. It's fun. And good. Just short. A w.i.p at the time of writing. I'm excited to see how this evolves. Could be more fun if I can have more upgrades to get further.
(-2) Early Access, incomplete project.

Conclusion:
It's worth the £4.49 ask price for several hours of intense retro fun if you ask me.
I'm sure I will be putting more hours in but for the 3.4 hrs at writing. I've seen all there is to see. I now just need to get better at the game!
My only regret is that I didn't get to give these devs money for such a great product. I hope they finish it. As for now it stands partially finished.
The retro game. I didn't know I needed.
