A great twin stick shooter. The graphics + the music and sounds make it a great experience.
This game was a surprisingly good time from start to finish. A twin-stick shooter with very fluid movement and gunplay, and lots of variety in the weapons and characters that you can play as. The art style is cute and I was a fan of the character designs of each of the androids, they all have charm and personality which makes me like them all. The game just looks and feels good to play. The one area I thought was lacking was the story, which was pretty simple and ends kind of abruptly, but the gameplay is great, and kept me engaged the entire way through. Getting S+ on all of the levels was quite difficult, too, but I eventually got it done, and felt very satisfied when I did. Definitely an underrated gem.
Criminally unnoticed, AAC is one hell of a bullet hell! A complete extravaganza of projectile mayhem that does so many interesting things at every moment of every one of it's levels.
i remember enjoying this while listening to sleepycabin back in the day
Kind of a lukewarm entry into overhead twinstick style games. Fun with a friend for an hour or two but gets super boring super quick.
An underwhelming twin-stick shooter. I'm not a fan of the art style.
