Vector-Z

I really wanted to like this as I’m a devoted fan of 80s-inspired vector graphics games. The graphics of this title are pretty good, as is the music, but that’s as much honest praise as I can muster. The action is ponderously slow and anemic, and the controls are so bad that I gave up after about two minutes of initial play. A waste of two bucks unless the dev gives this thing some badly needed TLC in the form of a substantial update.

Vector-Z looks and sounds great! Very reminiscent of the 1980's. Unfortunately the game suffers from poor controls. I prefer using the "glide and tap" option but it's imprecise, lags terribly and feels floaty. The other control option uses arcade buttons and is nicely done. You'll enjoy the game if this is your preference. Hoping to see improvements in an update :)

Game adds novel features to classic Galaga genre playstyle. Shields on both player and enemies, creative attack patterns, and asteroid rounds are all engaging. Accuracy bonus adds depth for those patient enough to time their shots. Looks clean, runs smoothly and responds predictably.
