Let’s reforest the universe together, but… Let’s start by reforesting the Earth!



IN-DEPTH REVIEW

GRAPHICS

The first aspect to analyze is the graphics, as it is the first thing we look at in every single game. At first you may think it is somehow childlike. Nevertheless, that is what developers wanted, artwork is inspired by the minimal cartoon simplicity we can find in games and series such as Yoshi’s Island, Pixel Junk and Adventure Time. The reason of choosing this kind of artwork will be explained in the gameplay section of this review.



Probably you will find this game, as I did, as a reminder of what games used to be by the time we were children or teens.

MUSIC

I was delighted when listening to the soundtrack of the game, a very well-achieved ‘old school’ soundtrack which combines a playful style with the loneliness you would feel in the infinite space, you can listen to a preview of the game OST clicking on the following link:

GAME FEATURES

You are a naked cosmonaut with a jetpack and laser blaster. While there doesn't seem to be any real reason why you're naked, consecutive plays may begin to reveal the truth.
The concept of planting trees on planets’ surface is something I would not expect in an action/arcade game, but before starting to play it seems and it IS a great idea and after a couple of games you will also enjoy it, it is a curious but positive aspect of the game!

Build pyramids to defend yourself, they will shoot enemies in sight… Wonder if real pyramids were designed with the same purposes…

It is said that your enemies are an ancient alien race (very diverse from my point of view,) who will get smarter and varied as the game progresses. If you think a slime cannot be together with a leech… Imagine a space dragon helping them!!!

Do not expect you can beat this game in a single try! You can purchase abilities and items using the coins aliens drop (Yes, they have coins, you never know when a coin can save your life.)

GAMEPLAY

The basic aspects of the game are explained in the following video.



As I said in the graphics section, I will explain the reason of choosing that specific kind of artwork.

The artwork is child-like, why? Because combining it with the music they have chosen and the in-game features, it becomes a game for all ages, a child can play it because of its cuteness and one of the major aspects of the game to travel from a planet to another and enjoy it as much as an adult will do remembering childhood, innocence or just having fun playing an action game!

CONCLUSION

I have found this game a kind of EFFECTIVELY improved arcade game, I mean, it is simple but really funny, it does not requires hours to learn to play, if you want to play for a while… do it, you do not need to spend a single second investigating in-game features. This does not mean it is a complete game, it has its history, and your character develops as you buy abilities. So I believe it is a balanced game in which you will get immersed and have fun like a child would do, and if you are a child… HAVE FUN, ENJOY AND HAVE A GOOD TIME PLAYING!!
