Neon Wings

Good not great. At first I liked that you could "get good" and therefore not need the ads. But the game doesn't let you play old levels. So you can't go back and grind. You're always just not powerful enough. so you can play a lot or watch the ads, and you ALWAYS need to watch. Some ads are skippable. Some are broken (bolt ad). The broken ones crash the game or don't let you skip. The actual experience of the game is starting a level, waiting for the ad, playing a bit, another ad, etc

Downloaded due to an ad that slightly misrepresents the game. I've seen no snake like monster, ability to rotate ship, etc. Mostly like the classic asteroids but progress is pretty slow without any purchases. They want $25 for ad free which is nuts considering how basic this is. Also, stops shooting if you remove your finger which is annoying. Finally, you can't farm older, easier levels, so you're stuck with what you have.

I played a good share of shmups on Android and this one felt terrible and I just got rid of it after a few painful flights. The plane barely visible goes up no matter where you tap your thumb. Makes it impossible to place it where we want it to be. You can't replay a level you finished to grind more, you gotta replay and die in too hard levels instead. Cheap graphics, very cheap sounds. I was really hopeful the gameplay would save that but nope, even worse.
