Infans Solaris review

By punktgie_press posted 18th March

Most fitted review of this game is: Asteroids of XXI cebtury. You have a control over spaceship who defending Earth against asteroids and similar rocks floating in space. Earth has a protection ring - if it will be destroyed, asteroids shall be striking Earth - not good!!!

When You destroying rocks You could find a bonuses like triple shots and similar.

It's nice game to get some relax but sometimes is very hard.

Nice little game, but a lot of unnecessary hassle

This game gave me a lot of trouble. First, it installed some "Microsoft XNA arcgitecture" without warning me or telling me what that actually is. Then it didn't ask for an install location. Then it didn't even work on my netbook, since for some reason it requires hardware transform & lighting. (To be fair, I could have seen that by checking the game's requirements more thoroughly, I just didn't expect a game that's graphically so simple to have such requirements.) I then wanted to uninstall the game, but I can't even see where it installed itself to. I don't see a way to uninstall the "XNA architecture" either. So I now have a game that doesn't work and two undesired pieces of software installed lord knows where on my netbook.

Usually all this would justify a one-star rating, but if the game works, it's actually pretty nice. Repetitive, but nice. Maneuvering one's craft among the asteroids while blasting them apart is fun, and controlling the craft is actually easier than expected (the craft only moves when you press a key, and stops when the key isn't pressed anymore, so it's easier to come to a full stop than in other games of this genre).

Side note: another review describes this game as similar to Space Invaders. This was probably a mistake, the game has nothing to do with Space invaders. It's more or less a remake of the classic "Asteroids", which was a very successful game from the same period.

Infans Solaris Pros: Great controls, great particle effects and presentation (quite like the stars in the background, the premise of defending your planet is fun, and the weapons you get to use are quite fun.

Cons: Could perhaps use some more mob types to freshen bits up. Though it gets plenty frantic with just the Asteroids.

It's obvious the developers put some work into this, I'd say it's worth giving a try. =)

Asteroid Blasting Fun

If you played Space Invaders as a kid, this game is like a more mobile version of this in terms of movement and firing. You don't get a mothership to shoot at, sadly, but you do get to pulverise asteroids. Do be aware that you, too, may be pulverised, so be careful. They did a wonderful thing with this space-themed game. It is very colourful, bright, and fluid.

It's an enjoyable game to kill time with, and for not-a-bad price.
