Pulstar

Pulstar is simply amazing, as a fan of arcade shooters I loved games like Really Big Sky, Rythm Shooter and Saviors , which have a similar look to this game , it has a small story , your planet is being attacked by monsters and you need to protect it , you control a glowing orb with the mouse and shoot strays of light to eliminate the threats you get a set of special moves one for example cancels any attack you get making you invincible for one hit and you take no damage, it's an interesting concept, when i get to boss battles this gets really handy , you upgrade your rays of light and you can shoot multiple at once killing a bunch of enemies with one blast like a shotgun shot, you need to keep moving however because you'll die in 5 seconds if you keep still or get yourself cornered in the edge of the screen. you can play with a friend but only in local multiplayer, so i didn't get to try it , i hope they add an online co op feature. the graphics are amazing and it has amazing effects for weapons and death animations for enemies , the music is blood pumping and gives you a a sense of emergency .
