ButtonMasher writes: "Ion Assault is a little bit of a surprise, going into it I didn't know what to expect, a retro inspired game, or some silly faux futuristic shoot'em up, the result was not something I had anticipated and yet perhaps it was the most obvious result, a top down space game with powerups and an interesting firing mechanism.

Destroying more rocks in the shortest time possible creates larger amounts of dust which also increases your destructive capacity along with boosting your scores." -
