Neon Wings

Good not great. At first I liked that you could "get good" and therefore not need the ads. But the game doesn't let you play old levels. So you can't go back and grind. You're always just not powerful enough. so you can play a lot or watch the ads, and you ALWAYS need to watch. Some ads are skippable. Some are broken (bolt ad). The broken ones crash the game or don't let you skip. The actual experience of the game is starting a level, waiting for the ad, playing a bit, another ad, etc

Downloaded due to an ad that slightly misrepresents the game. I've seen no snake like monster, ability to rotate ship, etc. Mostly like the classic asteroids but progress is pretty slow without any purchases. They want $25 for ad free which is nuts considering how basic this is. Also, stops shooting if you remove your finger which is annoying. Finally, you can't farm older, easier levels, so you're stuck with what you have.

Gameplay is OK, but gets repetitive. Visuals are nice. Challenging, but not overly hard. Adding 1 star because there are actually no mandatory ads, and it's very playable without the x2 at the end of the level. Some weapons are pure garbage, should be improved. Controls can be annoying since ship's position relative to finger changes after every level-up. Some upgrades are stupid, enemies scale proportionally with the upgrade making them absolutely pointless.
