InkSplosion is a twin stick arcade shooter that can seriously be 100% beaten in roughly 15 minutes. It is really that small of a game.
The game is a colorful splash in the visual department mixed game play similar to a geometry wars. You goal is to survive and kill all enemies on screen. Its a simple concept, quick to pick up, and never really changes.
You are given three different game modes being arcade, hard, or arena. Arcade is level based with your goal being to kill the 4 enemies on screen while avoided the laser lines in the level. Arena is a endless mode where you go through waves of 4 enemies until you die. You unlock this by getting a score of 100,000 in Arcade. Now killing 100 enemies in Arena unlocks Hard mode. This simply just appears to have a quicker laser time, enemies have better aim, and they take more bullets to kill.
Now on Xbox you can get the full 1,000 gamerscore in this game in roughly 15 minutes. Aside from that it just doesn’t have a long lasting appeal to it. Arcade becomes dull quickly, weapons change per wave but you’ll quickly see that most are useless, and the game never introduces anything new.
At a $5 price tag it really isn’t great. Now at the same time however it isn’t bad really it just fails to show much. It looks nice, plays well, but offers nothing to more than a short one time play through.
Score : 3/10
