Shoot 1UP DX Review (Nintendo Switch)

- Bullet hell Shmup action.
- Trek mode plays more like a roguelike Shmup.
Cons:
- Hard to see which achievements you have.
- Hangs when viewing the leaderboard.
- The points as pickups don’t always work as you can get the kills but not the points pickup.
- The learning curve with how the expand/contract works in general gameplay.
- The playing area is quite small.
- A short game so if your a one and done kinda gamer it won’t take long, maybe 20 mins on easy.
