Infinity Danger Review (Armless Octopus)

Considering that first experience with Milkstone Studios was the wretched Avatar Ninja, the videogame equivalent of clamping your hands in a vice, I didn’t exactly have the loftiest of expectations for Infinity Danger. So, I was delightfully surprised to discover that Infinity Danger is not only a pretty flashy looking twin-stick shooter, but it’s actually a pretty darned fun one as well.

The premise is to destroy as many increasingly complex mechanical bosses as possible before time expires, which really gave the game a fun arcade feeling. Destroying a boss yields a time bonus, while dying is accompanied by a penalty. The first few bosses had the defenses of a marshmallow and would have self-destructed had I just hurled verbal slanders at them, but as the opposing ships blossomed into metallic networks of rocket launchers and lasers, I realized it was best that I swallow my tongue and and get serious.
