7 itemsAbout the Game
I recently got back from Ukraine where I, a Kiwi guy living in Barcelona, volunteered for my 2nd time during this war. I also went during the hectic start of the war back in March 22.
I request instead of buying this game, make a donation to a local non profit, thus I don't mean to one of the more well known large international NGOs as you lose a large percent to bureaucracy and advertising which is not helping the people of Ukraine and frankly most have done little here. Honestly the Ukrainians want this unwanted war to finish ASAP with their land and peoples intact and begin to live again instead of being stuck in this limbo.
Suggested possible local non profit choices include
A million dollar piece of equipment protected by a $100 net is an excellent ROI, not to mention the lives saved
but in case they do get hurt, lets try and save them
To help shorten the war
Its not just humans that are suffering here
I took the following 2 pictures in Izium which even now nearly a year later, citywide often suffers without running water and some people are still living in partly destroyed apartments
Yet through this they still manage to care for and feed the homeless cats
Thank you, Дякую
The game? Glad you stuck around well its ....
A Twin Stick fast Shmup where you can equip your Spaceship with various weapons at once. Be warned even though there are different difficulty levels this game is not easy. You have 2 extra abilities to help you survive. The standard Smartbomb but also the duck function, which puts your spaceship down on the ground, so you can duck under enemies or their bullets, or use it to shoot ground based enemies.
At the end of each stage (which usually take between 30 seconds and 2 minutes) you can use the various gems you've collected to buy weapons or upgrade your ship.
