I haven’t performed Scoregasm, however I can describe it in a single phrase – and that’s ‘crisp’. Ok, truly I additionally must let you know it’s a prime down shooter that may not qualify as bullet hell, however not less than counts as bullet limbo. Building up combos enhances your weapon and opens up new ranges primarily based on which combo targets you go for, however ‘crisp’ is my most important takeaway from what I’ve seen. Your brightly colored foes stand out in opposition to the blackness of the void behind them, and each ‘zap’, ‘plink’ and ‘thunk’ sounds good.
Scoregasm’s follow-up, Son of Scoregasm, is out at the moment, and you’ll soak all of it in by way of the trailer under.

Given how your rating – or not less than your combo metre – results your ship’s capabilities, a brand new rating mechanic may combine issues up greater than it seems like it’ll at first. Knight additionally says that there are extra routes via the sport, and extra endings too.
Also new is a worldwide high-score desk for every degree, so get able to compete with your folks over who can get the most effective Scoregasm.
You can anticipate extra stuff to be added within the subsequent few months: Knight says he’ll put up a roadmap of future options “soon”.
