Неординарное переосмысление классики видеоигр, в которой слева - маленький кораблик (Вы), а справа - невероятные космические приключения. Игра впечатляет драйвом, визуальным передозом и шикарным саундтреком. Рекомендую.

the reasons i come back to this game is: 1)The soundtrack 2) Chaos. one of the best "bullet hell" genres out there with PERFECT soundtrack. you will never know wtf is going on and you will still enjoy it because it's a really big sky, and who doesn't love star(bit)s? It's also a great time killer. you start playing once or twice then you can't stop and when you look at the clock, 3 hours has passed already. Overall, this is a low-priced masterpiece. so don't just ignore it when you can get it.

As many have said, twin-stick shooter with roguelite-ish upgrades between playthroughs. Not sure about bugs/particles/etc as some others have said, but this is one of my favorite arcade games to return to.

Really Big Sky is a twin stick shmup with a lot of personality. It's psychedelic, crazy and very fun! You can equip your ship with more powerful weapons and shield. The difficult is just right, but you can make it harder buying ultra upgrades that last one round. The levels are randomly generated, so you'll never play the same match. Bring your friends! This game supports four players in local co-op. It's worth it? Yes! You can be entertained for hours and the price is cheap. If you like arcade shooters, get it!

If you liked Geometry wars back in the day you will probably love this game. The sound track is amazing, the visuals are outstanding, its chaotic and its fun. A lot of people complain that you cant play fulllscreen 1080p but they are just being ridiculous, the game looks FINE in 720p. Anyway this game is awesome watch a lets play and see for yourself 9/10
