Super Arc Light

Super Arc Light is a minimalist arcade shooter where you have to defend the innermost circle. You do that with only one button. Your player spawns in rotating around the inner circle automatically. Tap and hold the screen to fire as well as slow your ship down. Let go to change directions. It's not the most elegant control scheme and requires a good amount of precision to perform basic tasks. This game could have easily benefited from a more precise control scheme that allows you to move two directions separately. But hey, at least it doesn't rely on virtual buttons. The gameplay is nice and simple, just what you would expect from a top down arcade shooter. Waves of enemies spawn and you must defeat them before they reach the center. This can be tricky as you need to time your taps to hit the enemies and lead your shots, especially with a control scheme that punishes you for missing by making your ship go the opposite direction. I can see this game being fun to master. As it stands right now, if you are willing to deal with a funky control scheme for a decent top down shooter, Super Arc Light may be worth your download.

Really good game, loved the graphics, nothing too developed but right on the spot, and loved the design of the game, really simple but also really innovative, so i guess you could say less is more, and would totally apply with this game, it's a new way to play space shooters, at least thats how i define this game, really addictive and pretty easy to get involved with, nothing too hard, my friends and my little cousins are enjoying right now this game too, this game has a very friendly interface at the beginning and totally love the fact that the more you progress in the game, the more weapons you have making this game more entertaining and addictive, it also has the fact that you have the leaderboards so if you get really excited about this game you can compete against players worldwide or even better, with yourself, its an amazing game, worth every cent, would buy it again if i had too, you are paying the exact amount for a game that will get you out of your boredom.

I think for most of us it starts off a little confusing and slightly frustrating getting a hang of things. But as as soon as you get a hang of things the game gets very addictive. I enjoy how engaging and simple the game is. If your looking for an arcade game to fall in love with then you dont need to look further. I have 2 suggestions for the Devs. The mechanics are simple and therefor near perfect, but- I would revisit the "side shot" and consider buffing it, if not get rid of it as a powerup. Secondly Ive noticed the horizontal hit box on the " X fighter enemy" needs a very small adjustment.

Simple to play. Hard to put down. Not much of a gamer here. My last game I was hooked on was angry birds. Ya. I know. Then comes this game. Love it. And I can't wait to play it with the update. Should be even better. Like one reviewer stated "it has that just one more game" feel to it. Awesome game. Minimalistic yet addictive. Fun for the whole family....almost. Not little babies because they will just put the phone or tablet in their mouth. Then your phone or tablet may have liquid damage and you won't be able to play this awesome game!!!!

It's a good game, but it's just way too hard for me. I can't wrap my head around the whole shooting but ALSO changing direction thing. If this game didn't have one-touch controls, I'd have a much easier time. I end up simply not being able to hit anything, because I'm going the wrong direction, but I can't press the button fast enough to change direction fast enough while ALSO shooting again so I end up having this stupid blind spot directly around where I have a red triangle dropping right at me. Overall, if you're good at using bad one-touch controls, you'll enjoy this game. I'm not. I'm going back to my mouse and keyboard.
