"Fast paced and high skilled arcade rail shooters seem like a relic of the past in todays gaming climate. This is incredibly unfortunate because there are some really good games out there, and coming from out there, that really show that the genre still has the power that it once had, and can still outshine some of the games of now. RefleX is definitely an example of this. If you grew up playing games in the 90′s, chances are you’ve played a shooter game like RefleX. These kinds of games are the ones where you control a flying vehicle, through space or the sky, and fight waves after waves of enemies with often complex attack patterns. These kinds of games generally require a lot of precision timing, positioning and thinking to pull of the best wins. It’s this kind of gameplay that makes RefleX both fun and addicting to play." - Attack On Gaming
Gary Hartley Writes: Here, in space, you’re privy to staggered laser blasts, uncountable bullets and heat-seeking missiles that seem to feel they’re not doing their job if they’re leaving you any kind of physical escape route. That you’re offered a generous six hits before you lose a life goes some way to easing these stacked odds, but that alone would make RefleX an aggravating game of cheap, unavoidable deaths you’d need to credit pump though to see completion. And that's what it would be if it wasn't for the shield mechanic. The shield changes everything.
Turbo Pixel has released a new video for its upcoming arena shooter game, Reflex, giving us a quick demonstration of the different kinds of movement within it (and how they can be combined into increasingly complex trickjumps).

This isn't to say that all of these projects are worth your hard earned cash, but with any luck having all of them in one place will make it easier to educate yourself on the projects you'd like to back, and which ones to run from. This week there were 29 to choose from, lets check 'em all out!"
