From time to time you find a game that the other people don't seem to appreciate much, but you quite like - and this is the case of New Cylon Attack for me, although it's not horribly rated [7,09 from 11 votes], I would expect it to have a slightly higher average.
The game is a cockpit shoot'em up, you are in space, there's a Star Wars feel, and you must move your sight to shoot the enemies' spacecrafts, coming and going, shrinking and getting bigger, while moving in the starry playing area - of which you have a radar version, showing the position and direction of the hostile spaceships for a good range, covering almost all the "star battlefield" [but not all, because sometimes you notice that they disappear, so there must be a portion of it that always remain out of range]. The alien fleets are often quite thick, and you have to develop some strategy if you want to destroy it all before they annihilate your shields, killing you. There's even the fuel problem, which you can resolve by finding your mothership and giving yourself a break. Another moment when you need to go back to the mothership is when you have destroyed a whole wave of aliens, if you want to progress to the next level. It's a sort of tense space western shoot-out, quite playable, with some good acoustic explosions gratifying your good aim.
4/5
