After playing the game for a bit longer than my first review i think im willing
to give it a positive instead of a negative. Because despite some issues like
the weapons system not being like what i expected from the trailer, and the fact
that a large portion of waves on the final stage are able to be impossible. I
still enjoyed 90% of the gameplay and loved the animations and unique style. I
also loved how every single mechanic in this game has a reasonable use to it. I
think peole looking at this game should get it for sure but they have to listen
to reviews and not the trailer to make that choice.

Somehow interesting with a lot to polish, it is in Early Access so i wouldn't
complaint but at the moment it is not worth the cash i spent, however
graphically even if uncomplete it is catchy, especially for the colors, i'd
recommend to fix a bit combat dynamics, (movement of the mobs), grenades (for
example by showing the projectile line) and polish a bit the graphic, but
overall the gameplay seems stable. I recommend this just because in E.A but i'm
looking forward for updates. Stylish

The game design is pretty lacking. What the games has in aesthetics it does not
make up for in gameplay.

Although heart may have gone into it, I'm left with just... wow levels of
disappointment.
Did they upload the right version of the game..? Am I missing something?? I
think I had the same theme playing the whole time, which may have started pretty
decent but got old quick. Combined with a small miriad of other bugs, samey
enemies (although apperently they're all different), shallow combat, story,
dungeons, and basically no loot or use for in-game currency, the game reeeally
didn't meet my expectations. :(
Also, apperently there was elemental stuff? The game had no tutorial and no
graphics to clearly discern weapon effectiveness. Apperently I played the whole
4 hours of the game and just spent the whole time wondering what was so special
about the samey weapon mods... ):
Oh, by scrolling between my weapons I found their >shared< heat bar could be
instantly reduced to zero.

The problem is that the game is too rough and has bugs for it to be recommended.
While the shooting & levels are pretty standard the gun customization is cool!
Swapping out gun parts that you find in the levels is great, especially since
there are three different guns to play with. However, it could be explained a
lot better. It's a little unclear what a part is going to change besides the
numbers on the screen. Which isn't the full story.
The story is completely nonsensical but does that even matter? It's about the
shooting.
What really sums it up is that at the end boss I died and respawned in the same
room. But the screen didn't come back from the transition, it stayed a solid
grey color. Well I died and tried again, OK back in the mix. Then it happened
all over again. Well that's just too much crap to go through to try and finish
this game. It's also not the first bug I encountered. I know bugs are difficult
to get rid of and I'm typically very lenient but after death screen transition!?
Overall, SKIPCHASER is fine. If somehow you have more patience than me (you
probably do) then I might consider this. I'm pretty sure I was about to make it
to the end and I had a decent time getting there. There's no way I could thumbs
up this now though :(

Bad controls, game plays super boring. Don't bother.

Would be a "Maybe" if I could. Close to being a neat little gem, but it lacks
variety in game play and the story is a bit bare bones. Pick up on sale if
you're interested.
+ Very atmospheric soundtrack
+ Clean art with a neat aesthetic
~ Xbox button prompts always on even when using a keyboard is odd
~ Gun customization is a cool idea, but doesn't really do anything interesting
with it
- Vending machine power ups being both very short and having no visual indicator
on length outside a text box saying its done make them not desirable and awkward
to utilize
- Damage/difficulty scaling could be re-tuned and/or toned down as the game
seems to get harder way faster than it takes for the game to scale back down. It
also affects all levels so enemies are scaled just as hard in previous levels.
The first level rats start with doing 5 damage per hit, but after beating the
game and returning they did around 75. Then trying to lower the scaling takes
way too many deaths and would be easier to just reset the entire game.
*Note majority of the pictures and trailers for the game on the store page are
from older builds of the game*

The gunplay, soundtrack and art style are nice however there is so little of the
game that it isn't worth checking out at the moment.
I found no bugs or weird issues.
No audio sliders.

After a quick 15mins into SKIPCHASER, I encountered my first bug which resulted
in me redoing the first misson.
Other than the bug, I enjoyed the gameplay, simplistic art graphics, and smooth
controls.
However, there are a few things that they can improve obvisouly since this is a
early access.
No audio options besides muting, and bugs (duh)...I can't say too much since I
only have 15mins clocked in but I'll give it another go once this gets updated.
I recommend waiting until this product becomes more stable & playable.
(Note: If you'd like more information about this bug, please reply to this
review or friend me and we'll chat about it..)

Another game that had potential, but failed at providing good game play. Enemies
have like 2 attacks. They either charge you like bulls or shoot while kiting.

In the first hours of the game, my game decided to crash sometimes when going
into the next level. Also one time when going into a building to start a
mission, one of the people in the building gives you 100 credits (the in game
currency) and I though "Hey wait a miniute, everytime I leave the building and
come back everyting resets". So I then left the building and reentered it to get
100 more credits..so and exploit..Well the game allowed It so why not go for
gold. I then got like 10000 credits. Also your weapons have a cool down bar
instead of ammo and if you cycle your list of weapons, it basicly resets your
bar. Im not that much into the game but I think it needs more content personally
and fixes. But I still recommend this game for its potential and fun gameplay.
Not sure about the story thing yet but I just got it :P

Love it!
I like that instead of ammo their is heat, I would say that making the gun glow
as it gets hotter would be cool!
Would love to see the awsome soundtrack as a DLC to download!
DEV. NOTE: PLEASE MAKE IT SO THAT IF YOU HIT THE NEW GAME BUTTON THERE IS A
COMFIRMATION POP-UP ITS BEEN 2 TIMES THAT I RESTARTED THE GAME MULTIPLE HOURS
IN!

I feel like this game has a lot of potential, however I was so frustrated by the
controls that I had to step away. I tried both the gamepad and mouse controls,
and with both control schemes it feels like about 10-20% of my aim commands are
either not getting registered or not working in the correct direction. This is
really frustrating since a lot of the starting enemies have no AI apart from
"run up and glue themselves to your butt" and your only dodge tactic is a
short-range teleport move that is just as beholden to the dodgy directional
controls as the guns.
I also feel like the visual feedback for the grenade is not very informative.
Presumably when you are aiming a grenade you want to keep an eye on your target,
so why make a concentric circle around the player serve as the only visual
feedback?
I do like the art style and I think there's a ton of potential around the core
concept, but a game with uncooperative controls just falls at the first hurdle.
I'll keep an eye on the updates and change my review if these issues are
addressed.

There is so little content in this game, bought it during EA and now more than a
year later, there are nothing new to the gameplay loop that i can see.
Play the game for about 30-60 min and you have experienced all the weapon
crafting system have to offer, and i did not find the combat engaging.

REALLY NOT A CLONE OF HLD
Gameplay : Classic Top-Down shooter by stages no puzzles just gun-play, i like
it.
Graphics : Simplistic and minimalist but not bad.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1629466423
Customisations : Yes, lots of weapons pieces and you can assemble them whatever
you want, really nice.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1629466359
Ultra wide support : YES, thank you devs.

Controls :
- In the beginning it was a big problem for me and i almost did a negative
review because of this.
- You can play with Gamepad or K/M but with Gamepad the aim is not really good
and i prefer the Mouse for it but for the movements i prefer the joystick
instead of W/A/S/D so i tried Key binding the movements to the joystick and the
shooting to the mouse and it works great.
So what i did was selecting K/M changing the movements R/L - UP/DOWN into the
joystick, the dash (X) into the left trigger (L2) and the action (A) on (L1) and
kept the mouse settings and now the gameplay is so much better.
Recommended price : 6.99€ (3.99€ is good too).
Devs. activity : Yes they are on forum and fix any bug you can find.
CONCLUSION
First time i saw this game i thought it was a clone of Hyper Light Drifter but
NO the only thing the same is the top down view.
With the controls i use the game is really good, without it maybe i would not
like it so much, so thank you devs. to support Gamepad and Mouse simultaneously.
I can recommend this Top-Down Shooter to any fan.

I got a 50% Off Coupon for this game and used it, got it for pretty cheap. This
game looked somewhat good from the thumbnail, similar "20 Minutes Til Dawn", but
I've only played 12 minutes and this is very disappointing. Free sound effects,
repetitiveness, not great soundtrack, and a lack of graphics. I would not
recommend.
