Dear diary, the game I played.today is called "Drive to Hell".

Drive to Hell

You're standing in front of your favorite bar when suddenly it is destroyed by aliens! Your only resolve is to get into a semi-flying car and start shooting said aliens.

Driving in a car that seems to fly, sometimes, you're basically shooting alien mobs. The art is pretty but doesn't seem to work well with the background. The levels only offer a handful of the same enemies. Yes you'll see new enemies later but still, some more content in the same level would be nice.

There are weapon upgrades which only last a certain period. There are also health upgrades, which come in a special mob to shoot. There are cars to unlock by collecting money drops.

The game does seem to have a level up system by hitting mobs while not getting hit. My rate of fire went up as the multiplier went up. Of course it's very difficult (at least for me ;) to not get hit and in that case leveling up your weapon this way is near impossible, making the game much harder.

Verdict: I was drawn in by the graphics, but they don't work well together. The game could do with some rebalancing as well, as it's a pretty difficult game right now. On top of that the content seems to get a bit stale quickly. All in all it's a full game, but it's not pulling me in at all. Also, what's up with that intro.

Familiarity: Never seen that bar. Guess I'll never see it again.
