Neil writes: "With a grind that can be brutal and a bullet hell that can be even more so, it's strange that many gamers use the shmup genre as a form of relaxation, kicking back with a controller in hand, fingers on the triggers, thumbsticks twirling like there is no tomorrow and being tempted in time and time again by their unique mechanics and time wasting opportunities.
But occasionally the repetitive nature of these games gets the best of us, leaving the world crying out for something different, something even more unique. Two things that Boiling Bolt has in abundance."
It's Women's History Month so it's an appropriate time to check out some fantastic indies with impressive heroines. These chums may not be as iconic as Lara Croft but there's no denying that they kick ass so let's get straight to the games!
(Sigh) all obvious examples of women being used as sexual objects. I'm sure Weinstein put the developers up to this.
Just a little AM sarcasm.
It's been over 36 years since the arcade classic Defender released and indie developers are still inspired by its simplistic yet enjoyable gameplay. Boiling Bolt certainly feels like a classic arcade game but is it worth your hard-earned quarters?
Developed by Persistant Studios and published by Playdius, Boiling Bolt is a frantic twin-stick shooter where you play as June, a young rebel fighting to defend her island in a world shattered by war. Take control of your well-armed ship and prepare to repel enemy forces while filling up your combo meter to get the top scores. Challenging stages and tough bosses are waiting for you!
I quit working at shoprite and now I make $35h - $80h. I'm working online! My work didn't exactly make me happy so I decided to take a chance on something new… after 4 years it was so hard to quit my day job but now I couldn't be happier. Heres what I do, •••••••••>> http://4u.fyi/4k9
