In the distant future, humanity has discovered a method to replicate matter through the use of a Dimensional Gate. Industry is revolutionized overnight and a short period of chaos gives way to all warring factions uniting under a common banner.A few years pass and the peace brought about by Gate Technology crumbles once a new threat appears; a race of energy parasites that have crossed through the Dimensional Gate by mimicking the very materials humanity had believed they were replicating. Mankind is quickly overtaken as their technology is turned against them and the energy emitted by the parasites begins to take control of those exposed.In an act of desperation, the experimental RSK9 is constructed, a ship made of Pre-Gate materials and technology with the ability to absorb parasite energy and use it to power its incredible arsenal. Piloting the RSK9 is Alys, an ace pilot previously missing in action that has returned seemingly immune to parasite control. Her skill and resistance to the parasite energies influence make her the only pilot capable of preventing the extinction of mankind.NOTE FOR LINUX USERS - Due to game engine limitations we are only able to guarantee compatibility with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS 64bit or newer. It is likely it will function on many other Linux distributions but it is impossible currently to be 100% sure. We very much want to support the Linux community and are happy to entertain suggestions on how we may improve compatibility in the future.GAME PLAY:-Increase your B-Meter & firepower quickly by flying as close to enemy fire as possible and absorbing their energy.

I just genuinely don't know how you get here, how you can spend years working on a game with a movement system that feels immediately off-putting to anyone with experience in the genre. What a waste.
Unfortunately the biggest disappointment is that it, for lack of a better word, feels underbaked. The levels themselves are quite a bit too easy for me, and this genre usually breaks my teeth in. Besides never really getting close to dying in the 'run-up' to a boss, they themselves don't afford much other than scorerunning by grazing as soon as possible. Having full health by said boss is almost guaranteed too because the game is sooo generous there. And what really sunk my heart is that you have to A rank/Not Die To The Boss on each level to get the True Final Boss and hit the ending. 1ccs are a fun definitely understandable staple, but when the run-up isn't dangerous... what's even the point? You pretty much lose nothing but time when the 'onslaught' to the final monster is paltry. And while it's nice that the game saves your A-rank so you don't REALLY have to 1cc, doing such contradicts the meta reasoning for including it in the first place...
So it's fine! I liked it enough that I hope to see more from Newt :3
