Summary
Always been a fan of one-bit graphic games, it inspires creativity and this king out the box and the games are generally of a high caliber. Enter Binarystar Infinity and it is indeed a solid little Shmup, it looks simple but is deceptively difficult. The soundtrack is fantastic and the controls just move and shoot. Collect shards from enemies for score and shoot down pods for power-ups and bullet enhance. You couldn’t ask for more to be honest and despite there being no tutorials or help whatsoever it says a lot about its accessibility that you can just pick up and play. For a change of pace you can flip the screen which is something simple and to be honest it sounds so simple that it shouldn’t add anything but it does, it actually makes the gameplay differently and lets players play how they like, it’s such a simple mechanic that it does make me wonder why more games don’t have it, it’s a real game mix upper. Overall Binarystar Infinity is a great Shmup.
