Galactic Storm

Its a game by Bujak. I know Bujak personally. #fame

Good top down shooter game. Reminds me of the top-down fighter games I use to play in the arcades back in the 80's but with much better graphics (and a lot less quarters). Only 4 levels but for the price it's still worth it. I used the default mosue and keyboard settings to play it.

I do agree with the frame rate / lag issues... makes the game unplayable in my eyes. I even changed resolutions in steams settings and other options as well... didnt help. A true let down cuz the game has a ton of potential, now its garbage. Getting a refund and i wish i wasnt.

standard shmups,but too less levels,consider its price,still a good game.

kinda short..but not all bad..and its cheap

Playing on Windows 10 wiuth xbox PAD. Controls on joypad are horrible, unable to change control scheme. Font is invisible on buttons.

This may not be an expensive game but I cannot recommend.

If you are looking for a top down bullet hell shooter this game is great. The visuals are amazing and well put together. The weapon upgrades and collectables are enough to keep you going and keep it interesting. Bosses provide a challenge as well as some spots in the levels.

My only complaint is this only has 4 levels, I would love to play more but for $3.00 you honestly cant beat it.

I'm playing this on PC and it runs 100% smooth with no lag or stutters (even with the screen completely full of objects). GTX960 GPU, 16gb RAM, i7-4790k CPU.

Great job to the devs, I hope to see another game like this from them in the future.

EDIT: Game runs fine on different computers, so it is my own fault. As with level length, the developer states later levels are much longer. This game is good if your graphics card can handle it

Galactic Storm is a great top-down space shooter that pretty much is what it advertises, but I can't recommend it

TLDR: Too short, and too much lag to enjoy

The main reason I can't recommend this game is because of the way it runs. I have 8 GB of ram, with an i7 Processor (nothing special, but way above recommendation) and the game lags massively (I get around 10FPS when playing).

Of course there could be other reasons, but what bothers me is that the only option available in the option menu is to change the pre-set control schemes to mouse, keyboard or controller - no options to change quality, and no options to change the button bindings, let alone sound or anything else.

The other place it falls short on it levels. From what I've seen, the game comes with 4 levels, but if the first one is anything to go by (got up to the first boss after ~4 min, you could beat them all in 20 min if you are good.

I would only recommend this to people with good computers, who don't mind playing the same 4 levels over and over again.

Notes to the developer

If you added in more settings, especially ones to reduce quality, and more levels, I would happily give this game a thumbs up, but in its current state, I just can't do that
