Boring and ugly shmup.

The interface is painfully slow. No keyboard shortcuts !??
Tedious missions : when done for a character, you'll have to redo all from scratch for this same character !
What a ******** for the score when the game is random :(

I've tried the three shoot'em ups of PomPom Games on PC and the three are equally good (I've only a small preference for Astro Tripper). All have very good controls with a short time of adaptation. All have a similar design, you'll like it or not, it's pretty strange ! They aren't easy but I'm not quite qualified to say this because I'm not good at shoot'em ups.
The configuration make it easy to use any gamepad (a very good point because I have no intention to buy a Xbox controller).
Astro Tripper is original because there is no scrolling and you play in a close area but it's not a Geometry Wars clone, it's more like a classic shoot'em up. The second weapon gives two lateral attacks which are very pleasant to use when raiding in the ennemy forces.
I've only encountered one small problem : the bullets are disappearing when you put them out of screen by your moves.
In conclusion, I'd say that my discovery of PomPom games is a pleasant surprise, I will follow the future creations of this developer.
