WorthPlaying: "An evolution of PomPom's 2001 Space Tripper on PC, Astro Tripper is a furious horizontally-scrolling shoot-em-up experience inspired by the painful, knuckle busting experiences of years gone by.
Travel the surface of large horizontally-scrolling platforms, and pit your highly maneuverable craft against hoards of enemies eager to blow you to bits, eat you or worse.
Gameplay is simple. You are free to travel anywhere on the platform at anytime, but don't fall off! Powerful Blue Lasers and Red Spread Lasers come equipped, so use both weapons tactically to get through tricky situations. Power up your weapons with power crystals dropped by destroyed enemies. Oh, did we mention the blasting absolutely anything that moves?"

LAG - I’m sure everyone, deep in their sub-conscious, has fond memories of Christmas. I remember vividly that for one Christmas all I wanted was a spaceship, a real one. In retrospect that’s a pretty big ask to place into the hands of my parents but if the Thunderbirds could have spaceships then why not me? Ah the impeccable logic of a six year old. I bring this up because as I played Astro Tripper (a top down shoot-em-up from PomPom Games, available on Steam and PSN) I couldn’t help but think if I actually got my spaceship for that fateful Christmas, my life would hopefully be something like this.
