Reviews for Lazer Wheel (#2835)

Review by WhenIWasCruel on 14 Jan 2017 (Rating: 3)

A variation on the Tempest/Asteroids themes: this time your lasership is fixed at the centre of a circular area, and enemy spacecraft go around along its perimeter. When missing the target, your laser leaves "stains" that if shot again send back the laser to you, determing damage. I didn't understand how the passing unto the next level works, anyway the gameplay seems to be pratically identical and repetitive. It's playable, nonetheless, and it has that mesmerizing mechanism that potentially can hypnotize you for a while, in spite of the total simplicity - which includes the basic appearence. But not the music: it's got a great two channel beeper tune in the option screen [remember to choose an option, or it gets stuck on the first weird notes].
2,75/5

Written by the same author of the dreadful Rollaround so I wasn't expecting much at all with this, and I was right. Mind you it is a better game than Rollaround but it's still not great as moving my ship was a hassle and everything seems to be random for me. Five minutes was all I could take of this and then it's time to play something better.
